Maria Luz Olivares Capelle

A teenager, Christina, loses her friends in the forest. Looking for them she finds the bodies of three drowned kids on the shore of a lagoon. On summer holiday, deep in the woods, three kids, cousins, are playing around a lake when they find a drowned young woman drifting in the water. Games, lies and rituals unfolding into a circular time in which death loses its ultimacy. What is real and what is a mirage? Who is dreaming and who is being dreamed?

Seemingly abandoned, a young woman walks through the porous city of Buenos Aires with her camera, finding potential mothers at every turn.

The materiality of reversal-film is being portrayed. This analogue technology, with its exposed chemical skeleton is clashing in an anachronistic filmic gag with contemporary digital animation. Colour is not presented as a natural, but a highly constructed medium in the expierence of film. This is a short experimental-essay which is questioning canonized and hegemonic film-rituals used to build and test cinematic-images.

Teen Western in the middle of the Buenos Aires conurbano: girl bands, a role and a meeting schedule.
