A reflection on the passage of time and the use of an emblematic space of Buenos Aires as the Abasto. In more than 100 years, many stories have gone through the central construction of this traditional neighborhood, which functioned as a fruit and vegetable supplier market to later become Abasto Shopping, a daily and constant movement shopping center, which has been consolidated as one of the most successful in the Argentine capital.

MovieDocumentary
Argentina is a country with an extensive and varied cinematography. Within this enormity, there is a rare, atypical… bizarre cinema. Bizarrofilia aims to investigate the origin and meaning of the word “bizarre”, how the passage of time implies reinterpretations of some works, and focuses on the contemporary production of films that aim to distance themselves from any mimetic representation of reality… although in a country like ours reality always surpasses fiction.
