Olympus vacuum(es)

A powerful Argentine political film stands on the figure of an outsider intellectual, Sebreli, but manages to transcend it, he becomes a touchstone to go through Argentina and its dilemmas, through this country that is proud of almost everything it should be ashamed of. From national icons like Gardel, Evita, Che, and Maradona the film dialogs with recent Argentine history and it does so with extraordinary energy, supported by a rarely seen use of all kinds of archive material in an almost Dionysian state of sampleadelia. The film arrives to a surprising reflection on nationalism, demagogic governments and delusions of unanimity; problems that are common to emerging societies that cannot find their ways to a freer and more egalitarian society.

Tumbledown(en)

Hunt For the Lost Superfleet(en)

The Battle of the Falklands, between a Royal Navy task force and five German cruisers, was one of the most dramatic and bloodiest sea conflicts of World War I.

1892 1982 Dos Historias de Malvinas(es)

It is a fictionalized documentary, filmed in different locations (San Julián; Estancia La Colmena; Morón, Province of Buenos Aires; Capital Federal and Islas Malvinas). The original idea of the project is to reflect the historical and paradoxical connection that unites continental Patagonia with the Islas Malvinas. It is a story that recreates several moments, both the arrival of Islas Malvinas settlers and the departure of Argentine pilots on combat missions during the 1982 war. The documentary is filmed in a cinematic style, but also incorporates the most rigorous documentary logic: interviews, narration, and careful historical research into the events.
