Soup Kitchens
Director
Shot in the impoverished northern province of Tuncamán in Argentina, this brief cine-tract shows the children and elderly people who are served by a community soup kitchen that exists independently of state support. The film's sequence of images, many shot in close-up, is accompanied by the Argentine national anthem on the soundtrack.
