Eduardo Galeano

A detailed investigation into the political and economic interests that, since the beginning of the 20th century, have pulled the strings of the arms trade, hidden in the shadows, feeding the shameful corruption of politicians and government officials and promoting a state of permanent war throughout the world, while they cynically asked for a lasting and universal peace.

The journey of Fernando Birri, the great father of New Latin American Cinema, has left a mark that begins at the legendary Santa Fe Documentary School and continues to this day. His methods, influences, his founding role, his poetic-political commitment, and his artistic output are some of the milestones that make up his journey.

Documentary written and directed by Esteban Cadoche that tells the most outstanding sections of the life and literary work of the author of Rodolfo Walsh, and that covers the figure and work of the chronicler, writer and political activist based on the words of Eduardo Galeano, Rogelio García Lupo, Roberto Baschetti, Miguel Bonasso, Patricia Walsh, the Cubans Concepción Dumois and Gabriel Molina, who were his colleagues at Agencia Prensa Latina.

Documentary that traces the history of the 20th century through the story of Rogelio García Lupo, Argentine investigative journalist and historian co-founder of the Cuban news agency Prensa Latina along with Gabriel García Márquez, Rodolfo Walsh and Jorge Masetti, and also of the weekly newspaper of the CGT of the Argentines in 1968. We access the personal archive of García Lupo while he was visiting it for the last time at the age of 82, after having decided to hand it over to the National Library for future researchers to consult.

In 1997 the Argentine filmmaker Fernando Birri returned to his home country to film a documentary on the 30th anniversary of the death of Che Guevara and the relevance of utopias at that time. Carmen Guarini decided to record those moments. A rough edit of this film was hidden away on a fragile VHS tape for twenty years. Today, these images come to life and shed some light on the life of this Latin American poet and master filmmaker, who, at the age of 92, still refused to give up on his own utopias.

The film deals with the process of globalization based on the thought of geographer Milton Santos, who through his ideas and practices, inspires the debate about Brazilian society and the construction of a new world. Santos discusses his views on the importance of respecting difference and his belief that an alternative globalisation model could wholly enfranchise all citizens of the world. An illustrious presence in 20th century social sciences, the man dubbed as ‘geography’s philosopher’ eloquently elucidates a developing world perspective on the global age.

Documentary inspired by the book by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano "Open Veins of Latin America".

What does Che Guevara"s mythic presence represent to people at the turn of the century, and how do people define their concept of utopia?

Narrated [not only] with puppets, a dramatic vision of Latin America throughout the 20th century with its constant ferment of dictatorships, hunger, corruption, civil wars, heroic episodes and spilled blood.

A boy finds, in the middle of the forest, a magic stone that can change the orchard’s guardian’s life course.

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.
