Chango, the Light Uncovers
Félix Monti is synonymous with cinematography in Argentina. From his early steps in the legendary San Miguel studios to his recent work in large-scale Argentine film productions, Chango has never stopped working. Directors Alejandra Martín and Paola Rizzi, also colleagues of his, chose not to shoot a motionless documentary and filled it with vitality –the same vitality the experienced cinematographer moves around with in every shoot or stage he sets foot in.
El cine a través de la música
Tribute documentary on the relationship between music and image in the cinema, as a constitutive part of it, with great musical moments in Argentine films together with the words of those who compose and direct.
Malajunta
Documentary about Argentina's last military dictatorship and the legacy of one of the most brutal waves of repression, death and horror in Latin American history. Numerous people—historians, musicians, journalists, children of the desaparecidos (the disappeared) and others—talk candidly about how difficult it has been to uncover information about the whereabouts of the 30,000 missing men and women who were kidnapped and presumed murdered by the military. The intensely personal stories about missing relatives and the scope of the military junta's repressive policies also explain why, even now, many people resist coming to terms with Argentina's bloody past.
