Lucy and the Gramophone
Director
E., an old-time hippie lost at the foot of an extinguished Patagonian volcano, decides to pay homage to his friend and mentor Albert Hofmann, the first person to synthesize, ingest and know the hallucinogenic effects of LSD. This creative documentary focuses on E's idea to carve Hofmann's head into a granite stone, a mixture of Greek initiation sanctuary and Mount Rushmore.
Kosmos
Writer
Twins still in their amniotic fluid announce our human condition, our compulsion to walk, move forward, run. When everything moves, we go through the forest of emotions in a dreamlike way. But it is thanks to water and its light reflections, to its transforming power that the infinite “Kosmos” plays with our uncertainty.

La ciudadela
Director
Argentine Patagonia. One man, two women. Three lives in seclusion, but not lacking in passion. The man collects firewood by the side of the tracks of a now defunct train, while in his free time he enjoys the company of a little lamb. A woman who is fond of cave paintings displays the whole arsenal of data and notes from a life of fascination. The other - filmmaker Narcisa Hirsch - takes long walks in the woods while reflecting on decades of artistic practices and philosophical readings.
The Man Next Door
Arquitecto
When two neighbours clash, their argument becomes less about proposed building alterations and more about the wider battle between class and social status. The hugely impressive building in question is the only example of a Le Corbusier residential home in all of Latin America, adding to the poignancy of their argument.
Sissy-Boy Slap-Party
Camera Operator
Sailors in repose on an island paradise seemingly have no worries of war or danger — until a playful gesture is interpreted as an act of wilful aggression. Soon, the innocent act of slight slapping becomes a relentless and unforgiving orgy of open-palmed face-smacking.
F.I.R.T. 119
Director
F.I.R.T 119 is a tribute to the Earth's Southmost railway in Argentina. The austere image, under the strong impulse of the piano score, captures the intensity of sooty coal trains.
Arise!
Director
A river, a shepherdess and a herd reprise the timeless allegory of rebellion and divide.
