Ten experimental films made in Argentina throughout the last ten years. From epistolary exchanges to historical memory, from the structural analysis of a place to its hallucinated revisitation, they reflect a profound image of a distant land. The films in this programme summarise a near past, and are the outcome of a common battle. In uncertain times, these films also appear as a luminous auspice for what cinema will become.
With the presence of curator Orazio Leogrande and filmmaker Azucena Losana.

Four artists—a dancer, a performance artist, a musician, and an actor—ponder extracts from psychoanalyst Marion Milner’s An Experiment in Leisure (1937) and On Not Being Able to Paint (1950). There’s a Norwegian seascape to contemplate, whose soundwaves will penetrate the artists’ workspaces inducing a state of mental flow somewhere between presence and absence.
