| | Plot: | Narra la vida de un joven escritor enfermo de sida, que pelea día a día contra su enfermedad. En esa batalla se introduce en prácticas sadomasoquistas, para a través del goce del dolor encontrar la fuerza para seguir viviendo y tratar de encontrar un amor verdadero.
Pablo (Juan Minujín) es un joven escritor enfermo de sida, a quien el temor a la muerte lo empuja a escribir su diario. "No quiero escribir, me obligo", se repite una y otra vez, y la obligación de escribir se transforma en la obligación de seguir buscando la cura a sus males. No sólo a la enfermedad, sino también a la sole-dad. Pablo busca el amor de su vida o tal vez al hombre que lo devuel-va a una existencia plena. Publica anuncios de contacto y recorre el circuito gay de Buenos Aires, que desemboca, muchas veces, en el sexo eventual. En esta búsqueda, encuentra una forma de erotizar su dolor: se une a un grupo con el comparte prácticas sexuales sadoma-soquistas y el fetichismo por el cuero. Así, en los golpes deseados creerá enamorarse y encontrar la fortaleza para seguir viviendo. El "año sin amor" en la vida de Pablo es 1996, cuando se implementan las te-rapias con cócteles de drogas, que transformaron al sida en una enfer-medad crónica y no necesariamente mortal, como quedó establecido en el Congreso de Vancouver. Pablo debe comenzar a tomar la medi-cación, pero tiene un gran temor: que una prescripción desacertada pueda conducirlo a la muerte.("La Butaca

| | Notes: | ideocassette release of a 2000 motion picture. Directed by: Gustavo Postiglione Participants: Gerardo Dayub, Tito Gómez, Héctor Molina, Raúl Calandra, Carlos Resta, David Edery, Daniel Briguet.
| | Plot: | El 30 de diciembre de 1999 se encuentran a comer un asado 7 amigos más un invitado sorpresa. El encuentro es en la terraza de Tito, el anfitrión, y la reunión se prolonga hasta las últimas horas del milenio.
"El asadito es todo lo que se ha dicho por ahí, lo que varía son las proporciones. Ha sido rodada de un tirón, durante las veinte horas que unieron la tarde del 30 de diciembre de 1999 con la madrugada del "último día" del siglo XX, y es la historia de esas mismas veinte horas. Que se consumen en el departamento "tipo casa" de Tito, próximo al centro de Rosario. Entre su patio y terraza transcurrirá este asado que comparten siete amigos nacidos en aquella ciudad. Un poco por la fecha, otro poco porque hace tiempo que, viejos amigos como son, no coincidían en un mismo lugar (incluyendo a ese que vive en Buenos Aires y cae sin aviso), no se trata de un asado cualquiera. Tiene visos, justamente, de reunión, y en cuanto tal se muestra propicio para evocar tiempos idos. O para ensayar, consolidar, o cuanto menos considerar, una mirada hacia el pasado. Un balance.
Estamos hablando de una reunión de hombres más o menos cuarentones. Y esto ya no es cualquier cosa, sino una de las cosas más sabrosas (el olor del asadito torció mis habituales metáforas) y complejas que puede abordar el cine argentino contemporáneo. Porque una reunión de cuarentones (y precisemos más: de clase media urbana venida a menos, culta) sobre el filo del 2000 está casi obligada a asumir una expresión muy trágica. Los que tienen más o menos cuarenta en el 2000 tenían entre quince y veinte cuando la dictadura más sangrienta de la historia de este país empezó a decapitar a varias generaciones. Y entre otras, a la de El asadito. Cuando digo a decapitar digo a cortar cabezas, pero no sólo de un modo literal. La dictadura no fue tan torpe como asesina: quiso matar a lo mejor, descabezar a esas generaciones, y lo consiguió en buena medida. Los que comparten este asado no son ni lo mejor ni lo peor (que Dios me libre: se parecen a muchos de nosotros); son los que quedaron. Los que la dictadura nos dejó.
Tito, el Turco, Héctor, Raúl, David, Daniel y Carloncho hablan de los temas que convocan a cualquier grupo de varones desde casi siempre: coches, minas, fútbol, cine, plata... hasta política. Y sin embargo eso otro, eso de lo que hablábamos, ya desde el principio parece hacerse un lugarcito ahí, entre ellos. Y planea como una ausencia sobre las primeras mesas y sobremesas de este largo encuentro a siete voces, filmado cámara en mano, fotografiado en un blanco y negro notoria, quizás excesivamente granulado. Es mérito de la dirección de actores (y del esquema de improvisaciones libres sobre temas prefijados) que esta tensión emerja sutilmente, naturalmente, para sostenerse durante la primera mitad del relato. Más allá de unos pocos diálogos que flaquean, la credibilidad de las criaturas que no dejan de charlar ante nosotros es notable. Con lo que nos alejamos del "costumbrismo" para acercarnos al "naturalismo": reconocerse en ellas no es difícil; reconocerlas es más fácil aun. Ahora bien, al cabo de un rato de naturalismo alguien podría decir: muy bien, estos tipos son como mis amigos y yo, se nos parecen... ¿pero qué hacen en esta película? O más bien: ¿qué hace esta película con ellos?
Acá quería llegar. Ya queda dicho que a poco de empezar los planta con credibilidad y firmeza, y que los envuelve en cierto halo de tragedia que se percibe sutilmente. No es poco. Pero una vez logrado esto, no hace muchas otras cosas con ellos durante demasiado tiempo. Tito y sus invitados vuelven sobre sí mismos, se reiteran, sin que el film alcance a traducir la mayor parte de esa acumulación en drama (o en tragedia, o en comedia). En otros términos, los 72 minutos de El asadito se hacen largos. Otra cosa que hace la película viene un poco de la mano de ese rosarino doblemente aporteñado: porque vive en Buenos Aires, pero también porque su liviandad, su falta de lealtad, sus fríos "principios" (más entre comillas que nunca) aparecen algo más que subliminalmente asociados con la capital de este país. Como si el Turco se hubiese contagiado de Buenos Aires. ¿Será un prejuicio? En el mejor de los casos resulta contradictorio con la –aventuro– mayor revelación de esta película: los otros personajes, rosarinos de pura cepa (como así sus intérpretes)... ¡podrían pasar perfectamente por porteños, tanto en acento como en "melancolía" y tópicos!
Lo último que hace El asadito es de lo más lamentable. Sube el tono dramático mediante la introducción de un dato que habla de una traición, o cuanto menos de una bajeza de uno de los presentes. El problema no es que los demás lo consientan, sino que el film también parece plegárseles. Como si este final de fiesta cabizbajo, amargo, derrotado, desleal, se le hubiese pegado a las ropas. Y el olor de la resignación es más persistente que el del asado."

| | Plot: | A timely and urgent feature, rich in ideas and sensibility, Bolivia portrays, through an intimate look at its characters, an Argentina in a state of social emergency.
The film was born from a story written by Romina Lafranchini. Made with a minimal budget, which required three years of discontinuous filming, the film is set in a bar that was made available to Caetano on different days and at different times in the lower-middle class Buenos Aires suburb of Villa Crespo. Although never able to film for more than three days at a time for budget reasons, the thread of the story is perfectly continuous. With asceticism and a power of synthesis which enables the director to give an ample human portrait of the characters, Caetano calls attention to the pressing social reality of a country in the brink of plummeting.
Bolivia tells the story of Freddy, an illegal immigrant who has left Bolivia, his home and his family to try his luck in Argentina, where he hopes to build a future in which they can be reunited. He lands a job as a cook in a restaurant where the owner is happy to flout the law in order to secure cheap labor and where Freddy meets the characters that will change the course of his life – a Paraguayan waitress, a traveling salesman from the province of Córdoba, two Buenos Aires –porteño- taxi drivers and one of the driver’s buddies. The interactions between Freddy, his co-workers and the regular clientele unfold into a low key but deeply humane drama, in which prejudice and discrimination are commonplace, and rare glimpses of warmth all the more precious because of this. With strong performances, a concise narrative and impeccable camera work, Bolivia explores issues of xenophobia and social violence in Argentina.
According to Caetano, “when writing the script, what interested me was the story; the issue of racism was not very present. However, it is inevitable that when addressing those characters and setting the story in that particular social strata, there is a series of themes that appear on their own and impose themselves.” The filmmaker believes that, “the film’s main theme is the collision among people of the same social class, they are workers about to be left out of any class at all, and thus they are intolerant towards one another. Basically, they are trapped in a situation they can not escape.”
The honest and raw characteristics particular to Bolivia can be, in part, attributed to the film’s black and white cinematography, the setting of most of the action in one location – the restaurant – and the use of both professional and non-professional actors.

| | Plot: | A gritty and provocative look at a Buenos Aries police force, El Bonaerense (which, translated, is the name of the police as well as a neighborhood iof Buenos Aries) comes from Argentinian director Pablo Trapero. Trapero utilizes his passion for architecture in illustrating the underbelly of the city — dark and grainy images add to the oppressive milieu. The story is that of Jorge, a locksmith who unknowingly participates in a robbery only to be caught and accused of wrongdoing. His powerful uncle pulls some strings and wins Jorge’s freedom — upon the condition that Jorge don a uniform and train to become a cop. Trouble ensues for Jorge, however, when he realizes that the police force is a total institution — in which an individual has little choice but to assimilate. Trapero nicely juxtaposes acidic humor and social realism in order to create a complete portrait of a city, its enforcers, and a corruption that overwhelms its environs.

| | Plot: | En el barrio se habla de ellos… Dos señoras chismosas observan esta historia de amor a través de su ventana: Chiche (Andrea Galante) es una hermosa mujer de 27 años embaraza-da de un adolescente, Marianito (Federico Ca-nepa), 10 años menor y aún cursando el colegio secundario. Am-bos viven con los padres de ella, Manrique (Enrique Liporace), un lí-der político de tercera fila que trata de brindarles todo su apoyo desde una postura un tanto permisiva. Esta forma de ver las cosas choca de manera frontal con la postura de la madre, Ana (Ingrid Pe-licori), mujer de carácter agrio y severo que no pierde oportunidad para recordarle a Chiche la urgente necesidad de planificar su futu-ro y sentar la cabeza. Este embarazo inesperado hace que la pare-ja deba afrontar su nueva realidad. Asumiendo responsabilidades hasta entonces desconocidas, Chiche sale a buscar trabajo por ser la mayor y porque quiere que su novio pueda completar sus estu-dios. Todas sus esperanzas están depositadas en la entrevista que su padre le ha concertado con un concejal del municipio (Gonzalo Urtizberea) a quien conoce desde hace años; un hombre muy vin-culado al poder sin cuya influencia Manrique, típico exponente del "clientelismo político" , no cobraría un sueldo por quedarse en casa y convocar de vez en cuando al comité del barrio. Consciente de su posición de fuerza, el concejal trata de sacar ventaja de la necesi-dad de la joven. Chiche, frustrada y furiosa con el mundo, intenta conseguir otros trabajos. Mientras tanto, Marianito hace todo lo po-sible por situarse a la altura de las circunstancias, pero la realidad lo supera y carece de la madurez para ser padre. Contra todo pro-nóstico, Chiche, después de sentir que ha tocado fondo, encuentra una salida que la hace feliz.

| | Plot: | "Félix, un raterito de 20 años solitario y vagabundo, llega a un humilde pueblo de la Argentina. Allí comienza a trabajar en la pequeña chacra de una pareja que vive con su hijo de un año, llamado Chango. En el marco de la calurosa llanura y casi sin palabras, una tensa y silenciosa violencia familiar se desliza, crece y estalla secándolo todo. Sin embargo, una pasión nace con la misma fuerza. El desamparo de un marginal como Félix encuentra en Chango el cauce, la pasión, el objetivo único de su vida. En la Argentina actual, que ha abandonado a sus habitantes más humildes al desamparo extremo, transformándolos en 'huérfanos' del propio país, el film, basado en una historia real, reflexiona sobre los roles maternos, paternos y el amor filial, rescatando los lazos de solidaridad que persisten inquebrantables aún."--Container.

| | Plot: | Eduardo Mignogna's comedy drama Cleopatra tells the tale of friendship between two women who need to reevaluate their lives. Cleo (Norma Aleandro) is having a mid-life crisis. Her nearly four-decades-old marriage is wilting as her husband is becoming an alcoholic after being out of work for two years. Her grown sons have little meaningful contact with her. She works as a teacher, but must sell makeup door-to-door in order to survive. Remembering her dreams of becoming an actress, she auditions for a new television show. While at the audition, she meets Sandra (Natalia Oreiro), a soap opera actress who is chaffing under the control of her manager/husband. The pair escape together and go on a road trip in which Sandra falls in love and reconciles with her family, while Cleo grows to accept where she is in life.
In a nutshell, Cleopatra is a romantic comedy about freedom and joie de vivre; the freedom of two women: Cleo a retired primary school teacher and Sandra, a famous actor in soaps. Both women are fed-up with their routines and set out to have a different kind of week-end. They don’t know that they have taken the first step to finally change the course of their fate. On the way they meet a go-getter, a lorry driver called Carlos who joins them on their adventure.

| | Notes: | Originally produced as a motion picture in 2004. Dirección: Juan Manuel Jiménez. Guión: Victoria Galardi. Fotografía: Gustavo Rejan y Danny Navarro. Música: Gillespi. Protagonistas:
Mirta Busnelli, Javier Lombardo, Graciela Tenembaum, Esmeralda Mitre, Pancho Ibáñez, Patricia Echegoyen, Nicolás Pauls y otros.
| | Plot: | Amable comedia sobre la cotidianidad conyugal.
En clave de comedia, el novel director Juan Manuel Jiménez y la guionista Victoria Galardi dibujaron un entramado divertido que habla con frescura de la fidelidad, la amistad, el psicoanálisis como elemento de dudas y de temores y, sobre todo, del amor que, en definitiva, puede ser indestructible. La relación entre Dolores y Enrique sufre altibajos en un argumento en el que se destacan diálogos bien estructurados, situaciones graciosas que nunca caen en la chabacanería y una simpática pintura urbana cuyos protagonistas son una pareja que se acerca y se aleja, a veces con sinceridad y otras con compungido arrepentimiento. (Adolfo C. Martínez, La Nación)

| | Plot: | Ariel es un timido chico judio que convive con su padre y permanentemente se cuestiona su identidad. Circunstancialmente conocera a Santamaria, un bancario desempleadoque se ha convertido en vagabundo. Cada uno por su lado asistiran al derrumbe de sus respectivas familias y proyectos, pero sus vidas se cruzaran y se retroalimentaran.
A Jewish man-s life in Buenos Aires. Set in the vibrant Jewish community of Buenos Aires, Daniel Burman-s second feature takes a poignant look at the lives of two men. One is a young man who is torn between his devotion to traditional family ties and the desire for something different, the other is an older bank employee who suddenly finds his life in complete turmoil. Santamaria (Enrique Pineyro) is terminated from his steady bank job as the world stock market experiences unpredictable convulsions, and his wife duly takes this development as an opportunity to put him out on the street. Forced to make a paltry living returning stolen wallets, Santamaria finds some hope in the form of a comely bathroom attendant (Stefania Sandrelli), who is waiting for her husband to be released from prison. Meanwhile, Ariel (Daniel Hendler) is chafing against the restraints of a predictable future that will see him take over his elderly father-s (Hector Alterio) restaurant and marry a nice Jewish girl (Melina Petriella). Santamaria-s and Ariel-s stories are told in bits and pieces, contrasted against one another to demonstrate the many parallel universes that can co-exist in the same urban milieu. Esperando al Mesias was shown in competition at the Buenos Aires Independent Cinema Festival. ~ Rebecca Flint, All Movie Guide

| | Plot: | Conflict arises in a dysfunctional middle-class family over the care of their aging matriarch and the anticipated division of her estate.
It is an adaptation of that so perverse text, so amused and flavorful that Jacobo Langsner created it like a grotesque exercise about the false loyalty and ferocious game of interest and pretense within a middle-class family. This film relates until what point the conducts are deceitful and able to trick in the same base of the feelings and the filial attachment. It shows the vice of hypocrisy and meanness and allows the spectator to recognize in so many characteristics the sentimental fold and the cult to the appearances.

| | Plot: | En 1928, varios reclusos de la Penitenciaria Nacional de Buenos Aires se escapan por un túnel que durante meses habían construido y van a salir, por un error de cálculo, a una carbonería regentada por un matrimonio de ancianos españoles. Las aventuras de cada uno de los personajes - un anarquista, un estafador, tres asesinos, un timador de naipes y un inocente - son tan dispares como su suerte: unos mueren asaltados o son capturados y otros se pierden para siempre, envueltos en la violencia y la determinación de no volver a la prisión. El pacto firmado por todos los fugados es el sordo testimonio de la libertad ansiada.

| | Plot: | A woman gives birth, as two men wait outside to take her child from her. The woman has twins, the midwife manages to hide the baby girl in a bag.
In Milan twenty years later, Javier, the male twin, lives totally unaware of past events. Pampered by his comfortable life as part of a wealthy family, he lives a normal life without a care in the world. One day his sister Rosa arrives in Italy. After desperately searching for him all her life, she finally tracked him down via e-mail and now wants to tell him the truth. Javier refuses to believe her, yet the seed of doubt tortures him and his life will never be the same again. The brother and sister set off on a trip to Barcelona, a journey that for Javier becomes an interior journey towards the painful discovery of the truth.
The Italo-Argentinian director Marco Bechis, following "Garage Olimpo", returns once again to the terrible story of Argentina's "desaparecidos" or "disappeared" of the Seventies. And while in "Garage Olimpo" the drama was visible in a patent, crude manner, with the description of the concentration camps and the torture suffered by prisoners, in "Hijos" the tragedy is all interiorized. The story meanders tortuously through the folds of a soul recoiling from an unbearable truth. Javier, distraught at the thought of having lived another life, compared to that which he had been destined to live, fights against the idea that his parents, or at least the people he always believed were his parents, are in reality murderers. The drama of these children, torn from the arms of their mothers, who subsequently faced torture and death, is barely touched upon in the film, yet the emotional issue of unacceptable alienation, pursued by a government with the tacit complicity of the people, strikes at the viewer's heart. Bechis chooses a different cinematographic style compared to previous works, built on words never spoken, glances and allusions packed with emotions, that bounce off one character after another, laying bear the psychological make-up of the characters in order to allow each of them to participate in the drama shared by many. Only the documentary-style ending, taken from footage of an actual demonstration organized by the H.I.J.O.S. association from which the film takes its name, brings us back to present-day reality and the drama currently lived by the children of the desaparecidos.

| | Plot: | Una Nochebuena cualquiera es el nexo que une diferentes historias de seres solitarios: un comico con pretensiones de gran humorista, un medico que intenta una conquista antes de tomar su guardia, un discapacitado que busca compania, un escritor que quiere viajar de Rosario a Bs. As. Sus caminos se cruzaran de una u otra manera en esta noche tan especial.
Lucho Bender-s Felicidades is a truly enchanting experience filled with love, humor and one of the most complete human experiences you-ll find this year. On December 24th, Buenos Aires hectically prepares for Christmas in the normal fashion. Unfortunately, the Christmas spirit has a new face in the forms of selfishness, distrust and violence. However, there are always those few shining souls--here in the examples of Sikora, Platana and Debiasi. All Sikora wants to do is get on his plane to Toronto. On the way to the airport, however, in the middle of nowhere, his driver runs out of gas. It is Sikora who sets out to try to locate fuel. The result is absurd and unexpected. Platana is doing some last minute shopping when he meets Laura. Immediately taken by her, Platana makes sure to get a date. All Platana has to do is help a disabled man to his apartment and meet Laura at hers--a task that proves more difficult than expected. Very religious Debiasi is engaged to be married and soon to move out of his parents- house. Tonight, his scruples are sorely tested, however, when he becomes an unwilling accomplice of police misbehavior. Felicidades may be director Lucho Bender-s directorial feature debut, yet he deftly crafts the splendid journey of a master storyteller. Felicidades will undoubtedly leave his audience craving more.

| | Plot: | A thousand kilometers south of Buenos Aires lies Patagonia. Three people have their own reasons to travel through this remote area. Don Justo, a retired grocery shop owner, wants to go to the nearby town to find his long lost dog. Roberto, the travelling salesman, has bought a cake for the child of the woman he is in love with. Only he doesn't know whether this child is a boy or a girl. The special made cake has therefore to be changed from a football into something more unisex. But in Patagonia it is hard to find a good patissier. And then there is Maria Flores, who is invited to participate in a quiz show, and who has to travel all the way with her little baby on public transportation.
Director Carlos Sorin discovered the village by accident when he was directing a commercial for a telephone company a few years earlier. He decided to go back to make a film with the locals, and almost without any professional actors, which is amazing considering the level of dramatic development of the characters. Sorin managed to make a very happy and touching film. A road-movie from a country that is currently in a deep state of shock. Once again it is proven that Argentinian films are original and worth seeing.
A miles de kilómetros al Sur de Buenos Aires, tres personajes viajan por las solitarias rutas de la Patagonia austral. Don Justo, dueño retirado de un almacén que ahora maneja su hijo, se ha escapado de la tutela de éste para buscar a su perro que ha desaparecido y al que alguien dice haber visto en San Julián. A medida que avanza al encuentro con su perro, descubrimos, que más allá de encontrar al animal, lo importante para él es cerrar ciertos capítulos aún pendientes en su vida y poder enfrentarse en paz a la muerte.
Roberto, viajante de comercio, recorre la misma ruta en su viejo auto, llevando un incómodo cargamento: una torta de crema encargada especialmente para el cumpleaños del hijo de una mujer joven, viuda reciente de uno de sus clientes en la zona. El plan de Roberto, siguiendo técnicas que aprendió en los libros de venta, es llegar a la casa de la viuda, impresionarla favorablemente, y asegurarse un éxito rotundo cuando le confiese sus intenciones de formar con ella una pareja estable.
Ese mismo día y por la misma ruta viaja María Flores con su pequeña hija. Lo hace en un trasporte público. Es una mujer muy humilde, que se ha enterado que ha resultado ganadora en el sorteo de un programa de TV, cuyo premio mayor es una multiprocesadora . Aunque no sabe bien de qué se trata y vive de prestado sin tener dinero ni para comer, María decide emprender el viaje hacia el lejano y fascinante mundo de la televisión.
Cada uno viaja por su cuenta pero como sucede en las desérticas rutas patagónicas, sus historias y sus ilusiones se entrecruzan en los escasos paradores.

What began almost as a game of idealistic desires has becom in a dangerous and uncontrolled obsession. A bomb of high power has exploded in a Shopping Center. Romans knows that the time is finished.

| | Plot: | Buenos Aires. Paula tiene 25 años, vive sola y trabaja de moza. Quiere ser actriz y ya ha actuado en una obra. Su padre es un abogado que no la comprende, mientras que su madre murió siendo ella aún pequeña.
Un día Paula se despierta y se da cuenta que le están cortando el gas por falta de pago. Acudiendo a la ayuda de su tío, consigue el dinero que le falta pero cuando vuelve a su casa es tarde, el gas ya ha sido cortado. En ese mismo día, la echan del trabajo por llegar reiteradas veces tarde. Al regresar a su casa, el cobrador del consorcio la está esperando porque debe varios meses de alquiler. A partir de allí, comienza una lucha sin descanso y contra reloj para conseguir el dinero rápidamente y evitar quedar en la calle. Busca ayuda en una vieja amiga y juntas comienzan una noche impredecible. Paula seguirá hasta al final, sin medir las consecuencias y sin pensarlo dos veces. Así comenzará un vertiginoso camino hacia lo desconocido....
Esta ópera prima del talentoso director Alejandro Chomski se propone como una fábula sobre el descenso social que muchos jóvenes han sufrido en la Argentina posterior a 2001. El ritmo narrativo y el despliegue visual, tan vigorosos como vertiginosos, esconden, sin embargo, cierta frialdad y artificialidad, carencias en el "crescendo" dramático, resoluciones que resultan banales y de las que se desprende una mirada algo moralista y simplificadora.(Diego Batlle, La Nación)

luminados por el fuego" narra los recuerdos de Esteban Leguizamón (Gastón Pauls), un hombre de 40 años que, en 1982, cuando te-nía sólo 18, fue llevado como soldado recluta a combatir a las Islas Malvinas. A partir del in-tento de suicidio de uno de sus ex compañeros, Esteban se su-merge en los recuerdos de esa guerra que compartió con otros dos jóvenes reclutas: Vargas, el suicida, y Juan, muerto en combate. Allí aparecen no sólo los horrores propios de la guerra y el padeci-miento del frío y del hambre, sino también las historias de amistad y compañerismo. Desde la mirada de Esteban, la película pone en evidencia la lenta y gradual inmersión de sus frágiles vidas en el co-razón de la muerte misma. A los 20 años de la guerra, Esteban de-cide volver a las islas para reencontrarse con su pasado y cerrar sus viejas heridas.

| | Plot: | Harry es un niño como cualquier otro. Tiene 10 años, va a la escuela, le gustan los juegos de mesa y mirar la televisión. Su padre es abogado, su madre trabaja en la universidad y su hermano menor, el Enano, es socio obligado de sus tropelías. Lo que no es normal es el mundo en que vive.
En 1976, la Argentina ha caído en manos de una dictadura militar. Miles de ciudadanos son perseguidos y secuestrados. En la mayoría de los casos, el único crimen del que podría acusárseles es el de oponerse vocalmente a un régimen semejante. Ese es el caso de los padres de Harry, sabiéndose buscados, deciden esconderse. Sacan a los niños de la escuela, abandonan su casa y se ocultan en una finca de las afueras de la ciudad. Imaginan que el tiempo hará su parte, suavizando la situación.

| | Plot: | Two large households, complete with children, servants and pets, spend a torpid summer together in an over-the-hill resort town in Northwest Argentina. The swimming pool is filthy, broken glass litters the deck (from one drink too many), sullen teenagers abound, and the lush vegetation surrounding the house looks as though it's about to make its move. Harold Pinter's characters would feel right at home in Lucrecia Martel's astounding debut feature, its sensibility balancing precariously between black humor and palpable foreboding. Acclaimed Argentine actress Graciela Borges presides.

| | Notes: | Estreno en Argentina
10/08/2006. Dirección: Alejandro Doria; Guión:
Alejandro Doria y Juan Bautista Stagnaro; Fotografía: Guillermo Behnisch; Montaje: Marcela Sáenz; Protagonistas:
Jorge Marrale, Graciela Borges, Duilio Marzio, Belén Blanco, Carlos Portaluppi
| | Plot: | “Las Manos”, la película producida por la Universidad Nacional de La Matanza (UNLaM), retrata la vida y obra del padre Mario Pantaleo, cuenta con la dirección de Alejandro Doria –en su regreso a la pantalla grande luego de 15 años de ausencia-, y los protagónicos de Graciela Borges, en el rol de Perla, actual presidenta de la fundación creada por el famoso cura sanador, y de Jorge Marrale en el papel del religioso.
La película rescata los momentos más importantes de la biografía de este sencillo cura que nació en Italia y que dedicó toda su vida a los enfermos y a los pobres. Doria no sólo hace hincapié en el poder sanador del padre Mario a través de la imposición de manos, que le granjeó una popularidad cercana al mito, sino también en las obras que creó con mucho esfuerzo a favor de los más necesitados, entre las que se destacan la iglesia que fundó en González Catán, apoyado por Perla, su inseparable colaboradora.
Tampoco quedan de lado las dificultades que se le presentaron a su misión, como los desencuentros con las autoridades de la Iglesia Católica, con el gobierno y hasta con la policía.

Olmos, Pibe 3: Luis A. Meno
| | Plot: | Old age pensioner Don Galván, 85 years old, lives with his wife in a humble suburban abode. Trouble starts when his heating stove refuses to light: the wick is overused. Having no spare, he heads downtown to get a new one. His effort is in vain, though. Despite checking at a Chinese and a Persian ironmonger’s, he is faced with the inevitable truth that this type of wick is no longer produced. Sadly, he returns home in a shower of rain.
This minimalist plot, typical of film director Raúl Perrone, enables the spectator, via the main protagonist, to become himself witness to the Argentine reality, where unemployment and social insecurity are as manifest as solidarity and the persistent will to survive. La Mecha proves to what extent the film director has mastered his art, enabling him to «snatch» films from the street, the quarter, the city, or life itself. Perrone’s film reveals a somehow sinister, sad and mysterious atmosphere which is fortunately lightened by tragicomic scenes. To produce this film, Perrone associated with Pablo Trapero, another independent film director, who is his producer.

| | Plot: | Minimalist masterpiece about a grey-haired ex-con who returns through the jungle to his family. He buys gifts, visits a whore and slaughters a goat, surrounded by the wilderness and his own dark past.
The emptiness is sublime in Los muertos, the second feature by Lisandro Alonso. This Argentinean film maker has completed a minimalist masterpiece on the fringes of cinematographic expression. In the opening scene, the camera's eye glides through an antediluvian jungle. Between the leaves, we catch sight of two dead boys and their murderer. Then the film takes a leap many years forward in time to the intriguing old man Vargas. His last day in jail has dawned and he is getting ready to taste freedom again. For the rest of the story, Vargas is on his way to his daughter who lives on an island in the jungle. A meditative boat trip in a tempo determined by the primary necessities for life. Vargas is trimmed by a barber, visits a whore and slaughters a wild goat on the way. In silence, he is one with the jungle and the river that takes him both forward and back in time. Apart from that, there is nothing but silence, the gruesome secret that Vargas bears with him and the viewer's nagging questions. Los muertos is a self-confident and daring film with an utterly original visual language. The experience of the physical reality of the journey is just as important as the metaphorical overtones. The river seems to lead towards the essence of Vargas, but eventually doesn't provide an answer. Right up until the end, one continues to wonder whether Vargas is a man of silent resignation or of latent bloodlust. It looks as if the jungle has wrapped up the past - until it opens its chops wide at the end of the film. (SdH)

| | Plot: | A political difference erupts into a civil war in a small town in Argentina as Peronists clash with leftists in 1974. The film begins with slapstick-like violence that grows into deadly confrontations by the end of the film.
Una salvaje comedia negra sobre el estallido de una pequeña revolución en un tranquilo pueblo argentino, cuando un politico peronista acusa de comunista a un empleado municipal. Lo que sigue es una ridicula guerra que trae consigo un serio mensaje. Mientras su contenido politico es especialmente relevante para comprender las raices sociales y psicológicas de las dictaduras, su dura comicidad y su verdad sobre la insensatez humana dan esta historia un sentido universal.

A partir de esa mínima trama, Fischerman reflexiona acerca de los límites de la creación estética y las relaciones de poder. Además del modelo de Jean-Luc Godard y la nouvelle vague, el film deja ver la influencia de John Cassavettes y el New American Cinema, Vera Chitilova, Jerzy Skolimowski, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, es decir, un grupo heterogéneo de poéticas que, a fines de los sesenta, constituían la modernidad cinematográfica.

| | Plot: | No es un documental, aunque se le parece.
Resulta que en febrero de 1958 se correría el Gran Premio de Fórmula 1 de La Habana. Pocos meses antes, en agosto de 1957 Juan Manuel Fangio había obtenido su título de quíntuple campeón mundial. Asi que, las expectativas de la carrera estaban puestas en Fangio (que había obtenido el primer lugar en las puebas clasificatorias) y en el inglés Stirling Moss (que clasificó segundo). Pero el M-26-7 (Movimiento 26 de julio) liderado por Fidel Castro tenía otros planes... Se proponían secuestrar a Fangio para llamar la atención del mundo sobre los horrores de gobierno de Batista.
El film comienza con las imágenes en blanco y negro de Noticuba, que muestran las optimistas noticias oficiales sobre la realidad cubana. De allí en más, la narración es simple, consistente con la tecnología de la época: los autos, la televisión, la radio, el teléfono.
Se insinúa la situación de opresión del pueblo cubano, aunque no se muestra mucho en concreto. El guión da por sentado que el espectador conoce perfectamente la situación del país justo antes de la Revolución (Batista fue derrotado en agosto de ese mismo año). En este aspecto, el film es básicamente retórico, y trata de convencer al público acerca de la validez de la postura revolucionaria. Se han recreado imágenes de La Habana, con su viejo esplendor, cuando los edificios mostraban su magnificencia. También están allí los mismos autos que hoy (que entonces eran nuevos), y el pueblo invadiendo el Malecón de La Habana durante las pruebas clasificatorias para la carrera. La reconstrucción de los autos (especialmente la Masseratti de Fangio y la Ferrari de Moss) es esmerada y sumamente prolija.
Hay mucho primer plano, tanto de Fangio como de Pilar y Julian que conforman el triángulo protagónico. Todo parece indicar que el pueblo cubano profesaba una especie de reverencia hacia el quíntuple campeón mundial. Tal vez sea esa especie de fervor que despiertan ciertos ídolos deportivos. Y Fangio aparece como un tipo extremadamente mesurado (ni siquiera cuando lo secuestran a punta de pistola pierde el aplomo) y totalmente desinteresado de las cuestiones políticas (yo solo vine a correr una carrera, no me interesa la politica).
El papel que juegan las fuerzas militares y policiales de Batista no es muy auspicioso que digamos; en realidad los pintan como imbéciles. Lo cual produce un efecto paradojal: parecen mas tontos que malos, asi como los revolucionarios parecen mas astutos que buenos. Sin importar de que bando se coloque cada uno en la contienda ideologica, subestimar al contrario es, sin duda, un gran error. Y la subestimación es, justamente, la clave del desenlace.
Un aspecto a remarcar es la música. Especialmente destinada a resaltar el suspenso (cometido que cumple a la perfección), es dinámica y pegadiza y aporta ritmo al film.

Director Manane Rodriguez skillfully weaves the intense political strife with one man's faith that his grandaughter is alive, and his remorseless search in finding her."--Container.

| | Plot: | This classic of the Latin American cinema is based on actual historical events involving the brutal military suppression of a series of strikes during the early Twenties by rural workers in the southernmost province of Argentina. The film-s narrative, set within a richly detailed social context and mounted as a colorful action film, features fascinating character studies of the main protagonists, including the anarcho-synicalist leaders of the workers- movement and the ruthless military commander who realizes too late that he is merely a tool of the wealthy landowners. Now available again after being out of distribution in the U.S. for over ten years, this film succeeds in conveying its social themes through an emotionally compelling human drama.

Participants: Aitana Sánche-Gijón, Pep Munné, Miguel Ángel Solá, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Mercé Llorens.
| | Plot: | A Spanish writer finds an old coffer with photographs of an Argentine man (Leonardo Sbaraglia) who fought and died in the Spanish Civil War, and of a woman. Her quest for answers brings Vera to the Argentine Patagonia.
Puenzo’s new opus, produced by Patagonik Film Group (Argentina), Wanda Visión, (Spain), and Historias (Argentina) tells two parallel, yet independent stories that transpire both nowadays and in 1934, in the Patagonia and in Buenos Aires. According to Puenzo, La puta y la ballena delves into the feminine universe much more than any of his previous films, be it La historia oficial, told from viewpoint of a high school professor played by Norma Aleandro, or be it the 1989 Gringo Viejo, told through the eyes of Jane Fonda’s character."Though this film goes deeper into the feminine universe, I don’t think it’s able to totally reveal it. However, it certainly tries to explore all its complex facets. I strongly believe that the woman’s gaze is a very strong vehicle for cinema. This is a film that has to do more with dreams and poetry than with rational thought", Puenzo stated."La puta y la ballena is poetic, sensitive, dreamy and metaphysical".
