Zombies in the Sugar Cane Field: The Documentary

Tucumán, Argentina, 1965. Three years before George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead was released, director Ofelio Linares Montt shot Zombies in the Sugar Cane Field, which turned out to be both a horror film and a political statement. It was a success in the US, but could not be shown in Argentina due to Juan Carlos Onganía's dictatorship, and was eventually lost. Writer and researcher Luciano Saracino embarks on the search for the origins of this cursed work.

Invasion

INVASION is a documentary about the collective memory of a country. The invasion of Panama by the U.S in 1989 serves as an excuse to explore how a people remember, transform, and often forget their past in order to re-define their identity and become who they are today.

Because podcasts have a limit, a person who loves his mother + his father would want to make ice or steel or else have a cemetery so that his mother does not suffer for anyone.

The Ethnographer

With BONANZA (FID 2002), his first film, Ulisses Rosell took us on a journey to meet a tribe of extremely colorful Argentinian poachers. This new dive into exotica takes us to the Wichi Indians in Chaco, Argentina, who have not long been sedentary, with an American ethnologist as our guide. To some degree a repentant ethnologist, John Palmer, rather than finishing his thesis, married a native and had a large family. Rather than observing it from a distance, he chose to become part of this discreet and beleaguered community. He strives to support their cause, getting involved in law suits and confronting companies which pillage land that belongs to the Indians with complete impunity.

Ella va de largo

20 years ago Karina became the first gypsy lawyer in Argentina. A turning point in the history of a family and a community. A series of intimate portraits of women who dialogue about transmission, belonging and rupture.

La pasarela

Chlorinda, neighbor to Asunción, in Paraguay, is small and full of shops, stalls and warehouses. The city converges towards the "La Fraternidad" Catwalk, forty meters of wooden bridge, which crosses a nonexistent stream-boundary.

Un lugar en el tiempo

A small mountain village sees its traditional way of life threatened. It's difficult to live off the land, and there's also a lack of water. A tourism project and the promises of politicians in the midst of their campaign are forcing them to question where to go next.
