Chango, the Light Uncovers

2021 · 85 min · Documentary

Félix Monti is synonymous with cinematography in Argentina. From his early steps in the legendary San Miguel studios to his recent work in large-scale Argentine film productions, Chango has never stopped working. Directors Alejandra Martín and Paola Rizzi, also colleagues of his, chose not to shoot a motionless documentary and filled it with vitality –the same vitality the experienced cinematographer moves around with in every shoot or stage he sets foot in.
