LUISITA PHOTO STUDIO
Foto estudio Luisita
By Sol Miraglia & Hugo Manso
SYNOPSIS | SINOPSIS
Located in a flat in the famous Corrientes Avenue in Buenos Aires, for more than 30 years “Luisita Photo Studio” portrayed hundreds of celebrities of Argentinian show business. Starting in the ’60s, Luisita -the shy and sensitive woman behind the camera- found a way to position herself in a field of art dominated by men. Together with her two inseparable sisters, they performed great labour of craftwork that -although shadowed by technology- today has a new meaning.
De Tita Merello y Susana Giménez, Amelita Vargas a Olmedo y Porcel y Atahualpa Yupanqui, las celebridades que pasaron por el estudio fotográfico de Luisita son innumerables. Sol, una joven fotógrafa, descubre en esta Casa-Estudio más de 25.000 negativos inéditos que abren una ventana hacia un verdadero epicentro artístico de la cultura popular argentina.

WHEN THE OLYMPUS COLLIDES WITH THE PAMPAS
Cuando el Olimpo choca con la pampa
By Sol Miraglia & Hugo Manso
SYNOPSIS | SINOPSIS
A seventy-year-old artist must face the passing of time in his works, his body and the indifference of the world of contemporary art. Strong arms, big muscles, naked bodies are part of colossus fighting against oblivion and mold; they fade into the blue, they drown within it and disappear like birds in the sky. Between London and the Argentinean pampas, a portrait of the universe of Ricardo Cinalli, a Renaissance artist in the 21st century.
Un artista de setenta años debe afrontar el paso del tiempo en sus obras, su cuerpo y la indiferencia del mundo del arte contemporáneo. Brazos fuertes, grandes músculos y cuerpos desnudos, forman parte de un coloso que lucha contra el olvido y el moho; se desvanecen en el azul, se ahogan en él y desaparecen como pájaros en el cielo. Entre Londres y la pampa argentina, retrato del universo de Ricardo Cinalli, artista del Renacimiento en el siglo XXI.

ANTARKTIS
By Javier Arcaro
SYNOPSIS | SINOPSIS
Javier is a young filmmaker, grandson of Mario Raúl Arcaro, a scientist and inventor who, in 1953, was part of the first Argentine expedition to Antarctica. They were the first to enter the Snow Hill shelter, where the crew of the Swedish expedition led by Otto Nordenskjöld was stranded in 1903. A few years after Mario´s death Javier discovered a small wooden box that belonged to a Swedish expeditionary, so he decided to go on a journey following his grandfather's footsteps. He´ll also have to face unexpected twists, though.
Javier es un joven cineasta nieto de Mario Raúl Arcaro, científico e inventor, que en 1953 fue parte de la primera expedición Argentina a la Antártida que logró ingresar al refugio de Cerro Nevado, cincuenta años después de que hubiera quedado varada la tripulación de la expedición sueca a cargo de Otto Nordenskjöld. Años después de la muerte de su abuelo y a partir del el hallazgo de una pequeña caja de madera perteneciente a los suecos, Javier decide emprender un viaje siguiendo sus pasos.
