Marcial's Version

Marcial's Version

Love, money and betrayal are all intricately woven together in Marcial's police statement

1991 · 14 min · ★ 10.0 · Crime

MARCIAL’S VERSION juxtaposes reality with illusion, in a manner reminiscent of the ‘Film Noir’ style of the 40’s. Filmed in the underbelly of Buenos Aires, the film plunges the viewer in the murky investigation of a crime where love, money and betrayal are all intricately woven together. With seductive strains of Tango in the background, the viewer is jarred by the counterpoint between Marcial's discourse - his version of the events as told to the police - versus the truth on the screen.

Superhomosexuals

Cyberspace grows without limits, yet mental time is not infinite. Webcam Star Alan do Oro opens up a world to come, where flesh, sexuality and intimacy meet the immense possibilities of cybernetics and the posthuman. Sensuality is in slowness, and the space of information is too extensive and fast to elaborate upon it intensively and deeply. At the point of intersection between electronic science fiction and organic cybertime lies the fundamental matter of contemporary porn. Performed by Alan do Oro.

Lo Rojo

Lo Rojo · 2005

Lo Rojo is an experimental collaboration between a musician, a filmmaker and a dancer. The film obsessively explores the dancer's movement to the rhythm of Murga, the popular Mardi Gras music of Buenos Aires. The gaze of the camera enters the female body, making its shapes explode into multiple fragments: the heartbeat, the blood, the red.
