PROGRAM
January, Wednesday 10, 7pm
A lucky day/Un día de suerte.
Directed by Sandra Gugliotta 2002, 95’. Language: Spanish/
Italian. Drama. Starring Valentina Bassi, Claudio Gallardou,
Fernán Mirás, Darío Vittori, Damián de Santo, Jesús Berenguer.
Buenos Aires in the year 2002; the economical depression has
caught the country. Elsa keeps her head above water through
several badly paid jobs and occasional criminal offenses with
her friends Walter, Laura and Toni. She's saving money for a
ticket to Rome to get out of her life and visit an Italian with
whom she had a one night stand several months ago.
January, Wednesday 17, 7pm
Paris Marseille/ París Marsella. Directed by Sebastián Martínez Pineiro 2005. 70' min. video, France, 2005. Original Language(s): Spanish/French
Subtitles: French/English. Documentary. In May 1982, the Argentine writer
Julio Cortàzar wrote “Los autonautas de la cosmopista”,
a log-book of a trip from Paris to Marseille without ever leaving the
motorway, stopping at every rest area. Sebastián Martínez documentary takes the same trip, using the originality of the concept
to create a new, free, independent experience. This personal film looks
at our society from a different angle. Sebastián Martínez and his wife "plunge" into the motorway and surprise us with
the people they meet and the view they give us.
January, Wednesday 24, 7pm
Besieged/PYME. Directed by Alejandro Malowicki 2003, 96’. Spanish
with english subtitles. Drama. Starring Gabriel Molinelli, Duilio Orso,
Bernardo Forteza, Hugo Alvarez and Silvia Trawier, among others. On one
side usury, on the other the workers, on one side the past and on the
other the future. Trapped in this crucible is Pablo, heading the factory
founded by his father, trying to face the conflicts which engulf the members
of his small business in the Argentina of the 1990s. In an asphyxiating
climate, beset by debt, they are driven to an economic crisis in which
it’s every man for himself—a situation no one expected and
no one wants. They are besieged by a neoliberal economic model, brutal
and unjust. Perhaps Gustavo, Pablo’s son, may be the only one capable
of passing through that door, which opens and closes not letting us see
the light from outside.

Consulate General and
Promotion Center of
Argentina in New York
I would like to take the opportunity to invite you to the opening of "The City of Berisso; An exhibition of historical photographs", on Thursday, March 8 2007, from 6pm – 8pm, at the Consulate General of Argentina - Art Gallery (12 West 56th Street, New York City).
The city of Berisso can be depicted as one of the epicenters of the most transcendent labor movements of Argentine history, generating the country’s political and social changes of the 20th Century, and particularly giving origin to the Peronist Movement.
Berisso is located on the coast of the Río de la Plata, in the Province of Buenos Aires, and close to the Federal Capital District. Back in 1871, at the time just a settlement, Berisso had a primarily working community linked to the "saladero" or meat salting establishments for export. The demand of beef products from Europe, together with the development of new technology for food processing and preserving, allowed a steady growth of Berisso and its said incipient beef packing industry. In 1907, the US firm Swift & Company established
its first "frozen" meat processing plant in Argentina, representing at the same time, the first US investment in Argentina in the beef business. At that time, Swift & Company bought the premises of a firm called "La Plata Cold Storage", modernized its installations, enlarged the capacity of production and employed a large number of workers reaching, at its peak, over twenty thousand employees. In 1915, a second frozen meat packing company, this time Armour, was also established in Berisso.
For its past, Berisso has been named the city of the "immigrants" of the Province of Buenos Aires. In the 1930’, thousands of foreigners, from countries of Eastern, Central and Western Europe, the Middle East, the Western Hemisphere, including the United States, among other many nationalities, settled around the city working either in the meat processing companies or as a result of its activities. The main street which was the access to the industries was named and still is named till this day "la Nueva York" (the New York street). In the original nine main blocks lived more the eight thousand people with around 120 stores to provide for their needs.
Its streets witnessed the intensive political activities that shaped the Argentine labor movement and the national political order. Among other related events, in Berisso started the workers movement that culminated on October 17, 1945 with a national workers march to the "Plaza de Mayo", in the city of Buenos Aires. Historians established the said date for the birth of the Peronist Movement. As a result of the workers march and demonstration that same date the political leader Juan Domingo Peron was released from his arrest, enabling him to run as candidate and win his first presidential elections.
I hope you will be able to join us for the opening of this unique event in New York, that I am convinced you will truly enjoy.
Yours sincerely,
Ambassador Héctor Timerman
Consul General

New Directors/New Films - Latin American films
The Film
Society of Lincoln Center and The Department of Film at The

of New Directors/New Films,
two weeks geared toward showcasing films by new or emerging
international directors. This year’s festival, which runs Mar.

Fri Mar 23: 6:00pm at WRT
Two boys,
Lucas and Nacho, and their sidekick, Andrea, are growing up in
a small remote town in Patagonia where they are experiencing
the growing pains of adolescence. Lucas contends with his
parents’ imminent divorce. Nacho obsesses over music and sex,
while Andrea is preoccupied with her too-slowly developing
body. Once the three connect they become inseparable. This
award-winning feature by first-time filmmaker Alexis Dos
Santos reflects an intensity possible only by a talented
risk-taking cast and a story rooted in the director’s intimate
knowledge of his subject. Scenes were shot in an
improvisational style, capturing the wild beauty of
Patagonia’s hot, dry and windswept summer landscape.

Sat Mar 24: 8:45pm at WRT
The
remarkable character actor Julio Chavez (A
Red Bear, ND/NF 2003) disappears into the nearly
silent role of a middle-aged bodyguard for an important
politician, and the cleverly paced, slow-burning tale is a
mesmerizing portrait of a man whose all-consuming job is that
of an invisible human shield. The measured movements of
Chavez’s alienated Ruben are destined to reach a breaking
point, when this shadow can no longer deny his own repressed
feelings. Director Rodrigo Moreno develops his masterfully
wrought psychological thriller in the celebrated minimalist
style that has put recent Argentine cinema on the
international map. Chavez received the Best Actor award at
this year’s Havana International Film Festival for this
performance.

the other travelers is Pedro, a young man about Juan’s age who
hopes to link up in New York with his father Diego. Since he

written by his mother. Arriving in New York, Juan
disappears—and so have Pedro’s belongings and his letter.
Grand Jury Prize winner at this year’s Sundance Film Festival,

affecting final decisions or inadvertently foreshadowing
unexpected consequences, together creating a portrait of a

Mercedes
Roffé is a poet of both extraordinary gifts and extraordinary
range. Her poems move over the page as if they had been given to
her. From an almost trascendental lyric, to a writing acutely
conscious of displacement and history, to a limpid prose, to a
reinvention of Mayan expression and word...
Mercedes Roffé is a poet that consistently astounds. Leonard

ABRIL - APRIL 2007

5 April - 12 May
Reception:
Thursday 5 April, 6-8 pm
LILIANA PORTER
With enchanting incongruity, Liliana Porter’s work playfully subverts convention,
disrupts time, and messes with reality. Using a wide range of media,
Porter mixes the absurd with the philosophical, creating extraordinary
situations that lure us unwittingly into the realm of her idiosyncratic
cast of characters. For this exhibition she will present a new video
entitled "Fox in the Mirror," in addition to photographs, works
on paper, paintings, 3-dimensional prints, and installations.
Drawing from an eclectic collection of figurines, knickknacks, toys, and
souvenirs, Porter features these characters in unexpected combinations
and circumstances. The peculiar situations she invents, where disparate
events occur simultaneously, or dissimilar characters interact, wittily
invite political, philosophical and existential interpretation. Her third
and latest video, “Fox in the Mirror,” with music by Sylvia Meyer, takes
the concert as its theme. Wind-up toy dancers and musicians perform
amidst a series of droll, incompatible incidents. | | |
