Childhood memories

Right from its original idea, ¨The Clues - Las Pistas - Lanhoyij - Nmitaxanaxac¨ surprises you. How come no one had ever thought of including the different cultures that inhabit Argentina to shape up a story about betrayal, rescues, double agents, and varied, imprecise intrigues? That’s the game suggested by Sebastian Lingiardi’s triple-named (from its wichi and Toba translations) first film, in which a series of apparently harmless characters weave a net of imprecise connections and goals, a plot of unknown limits that turns paranoia into a concrete reality.

Imagen Mala is a film by and from the life and work of the Argentine poet Alejandro Rubio: cult poet and backbone of what is known as “Argentine poetry of the 90s”. Rubio's voice reading poems; images from television, from the National Congress, from public demonstrations, from poorly translated American films; an interview with the poet and some images beyond and here in time make up this film that makes an era present.

Gustavo Salvatierra returns to his hometown, Sipo’hi, in the Chaqueño (the impenetrable forest in the north of Argentina), with the aim of listening and collecting stories of Wichí culture, transmitted orally from generation to generation.
