Known For
La Flor
In all the stories that Llinas presents to us here with his narrative flair, well-known from Extraordinary Stories, we see the same four actresses, but each time in different roles: Elisa Carricajo, Valeria Correa, Pilar Gamboa, Laura Paredes – we also see them grow and get older.
The Middle Ages
A comedy during confinement? Probably so. A portrait of a little girl and her family during confinement? Apparently so. An absurd, Beckettian musical shot during confinement? Exactly, yes.
La Flor
An enormous effort of narrative complexity made up of six independent, successive stories, connected by the same four actresses living very different experiences in very different universes…
The Parrot and the Swan
Loro, a sound recordist, meets Luciana, a dancer, and falls in love whit her. When she quits their ballet production and leaves, Loro looks for her in San Francisco, Argentina.
La noche submarina
In 2000 Alejo Moguillansky, Diego H. Flores and Fermín Villanueva filmed for three days aboard the ARA San Juan submarine. Twenty years later, Alejo Moguillansky edited that old material in this travel chronicle called The Submarine Night, narrated by Luciana Acuña and himself, written together with Mariano Llinás.
Corsini Sings Blomberg & Maciel
On 9 July – Argentina’s Independence Day – Llinás sets off in Buenos Aires with his regular cameraman Agustín Mendilaharzu to re-record ‘Corsini interpreta a Blomberg y Maciel’, an album made in 1929 by lyricist Hector Pedro Blomberg and composer Enrique Maciel, as an ode to Juan Manuel de Rosas, leader of the Argentine Confederation.

A miserable Argentine troupe of actors, dancers, musicians, filmmakers and a girl embark on a theatre tour to some country, probably in Latin America.
Rosalinda
A group of actors retire to an island in Tigre to rehearse William Shakespeare’s As You Like It and suddenly Luisa, who is playing Rosalinda, makes a bad decision.
The Gold Bug
Feminism, Victoria Benedictsson, Leandro N. Alem, the Radical Party in Argentina, suicide, stunts, Edgar Allan Poe, the complicated relationship between low-budget films with a political aim and the film industry, Robert Louis Stevenson, fiction, facts, greed, gold treasures left by the Jesuits in Argentina, the 19th Century vs. the contemporary and the search for truth and wisdom are the background for this portrait of a clash between a Swedish artist and an Argentine film director.
The Little Match Girl
The sad story of Andersen's little match girl; the fate of Balthazar, Bresson's donkey; the impossible love affair between a militant of the Red Army Faction and an Argentinean pianist; the adventures in Buenos Aires of Helmut Lachenmann, who is trying to stage an insane opera; the problems of Marie, Walter and their daughter, who are trying to survive on very little money…
