- 0:03PS Audiovisual Radio every Wednesday at 19 hours. The protagonist is Argentine cinema.
- 0:11In Julia Montesoro Oro' s view, a program with a gender perspective that
- 0:16nucleates the country' s film industry, Argentine cinema will never be the one
- 0:38it is until now. We, from GPS Audiovisual we fight, we ask,
- 0:48support an Argentine cinema that can count on resources from the State for its
- 0:55development, for a culture that can count on the support of the sound for
- 1:02its development, for the benefit of the sector, but also of the whole
- 1:06country. Welcome to GPS Audiovisual Radio, with the journalistic production of Norberto chap
- 1:12and the driving of Julia Montesoro speaking to them at the age of ninety-
- 1:19two. The sculptor Leo Vinci has several outstanding dreams. One of them is
- 1:27to attack the marble block that awaits you in the courtyard of your house.
- 1:34He wants to face him face to face like a juice fighter. Franca González
- 1:41collects some of those outstanding dreams of the sculptor to reflect it in his documentary
- 1:49Vinci body to body, which was presented in the Vaffisi with very good repercussion,
- 1:55and is presented on Friday three at 18 in the framework of the Festival
- 2:00of Women and Cinema and from Sunday five every Sunday at nineteen in cinema art
- 2:06Cacodelfia. Welcome, very welcome. Thank you so much for being here.
- 2:12Franca, how nice Julia to come and chat with you Here' s a
- 2:16good thing, a little film, a little film and a little bit of
- 2:21this new experience. Vinton Pa Peli, why a sculptor, why Vinci looks
- 2:25at me I love filming the action of manual labor. That' s what
- 2:37I' ve become aware of. I have been reminded that in several of
- 2:39my films since Liniers, the treatment of things or all that almost sculptural work
- 2:46on the ice at the end of the world, there is some of that
- 2:52repetitive exercise in search of something creative that generates a lot of mystery. I
- 2:58very much like that record of the viewer who has no idea what is going
- 3:04to end up happening with that which is being thought, gestated and leo Vinci,
- 3:12for me first of all beyond being the teacher who is in his artistic
- 3:21role, it seems to me that he has something like the man he does
- 3:25with his hands. It has that act of faith to know that it is
- 3:31modifying reality, which surrounds it with the simple doing of its hands. He
- 3:38has as almost a sort of motto, which is that the human being is
- 3:46the only animal that is able to create something new for the world. No
- 3:52other animal can do it. They can do things, move around, transform
- 3:55the environment, but never incorporate something new work And well I found something fascinating
- 4:03in that world of reading that I think at a point so active of the
- 4:11ninety- two years above a scaffold, getting up every morning with a new
- 4:15idea of working as fast as having crossed. I don' t know very
- 4:23critical situations like the pandemic. Let' s say feeling that he was in
- 4:26his salsa, not because he had every right to not have to meet people
- 4:30and stay in there working every day that, as he says, is more
- 4:34to play than anything else, but not to play from the point that one
- 4:39only enjoys, but to play as the boys do, that they feel they
- 4:43are doing something serious, that compromises them, that they put their soul and
- 4:46life into that, that they do that good. I found it very fascinating
- 4:50how you hit him in two thousand nineteen. I don' t think you
- 4:58knew him clearly. I was just finishing up. He looked at the traces
- 5:01of oblivion and had collaborated in my film Leo' s son, whose name
- 5:06is Pablo Hincci, who is a wonderful writer, and asked me if I
- 5:13wouldn' t take some pictures of him in the place where I thought I
- 5:15would give a literary workshop that, since I didn' t have another space,
- 5:18was going to be in his dad' s house of Leo. I
- 5:19had references to Leon as a plastic artist as a representative of the Grupo del
- 5:26Sur, all that group that in the sixties as it generated, I had
- 5:30a kind of contrast with the Institute of Itela, with snobism, abstract art,
- 5:39that impacted the viewer more than what they proposed, that was an art
- 5:45as more committed, with a concept, something to convey an identity as more
- 5:50of the qui and now of the idea of cultural identity. That kind of
- 6:00elaboration. But good to get to that workshop house, which is actually an
- 6:08old 19th century bakery set in a space that I assure you. Well the
- 6:15movie could happen any of those scenes in the middle of the 20th century at
- 6:20the end of the 19th century. There are very few elements that run you
- 6:25from the present that I say are part of that they identify you with the
- 6:3121st century, because the tools of Leo are inherited from an Italian uncle who
- 6:38must be a thousand eight ninety that is, and he in turn builds his
- 6:43own tools and lives in a completely analogic and concrete world. And then it
- 6:54' s how you say it. Maybe this is the secret to getting to
- 6:59that age, that desire to keep doing things. I think I owe it
- 7:04to Marina, too, which is a very big stimulus for her partner.
- 7:08They have been together for forty years, they are quite different in age,
- 7:14because Marina was a student, she was a very talented sculptor, but well
- 7:19that of sharing the creative place and being able to exchange between them, to
- 7:27criticize each other, but also to accept that they work in such different ways
- 7:29in a work. It' s like very enriching and nothing is like these
- 7:35love stories, where you can do something different, but leaning on each other.
- 7:41I don' t think there are like many different worlds in this documentary
- 7:48and in these lives that you reflected there in the film now you had,
- 7:56you had some kind of approach to sculpture. Before him you didn' t
- 8:05go into that world as you left. It always happens in that way going
- 8:11with him, not totally, at least, for me, documentary cinema is
- 8:15not a space in which one becomes a specialist in a subject and therefore develops
- 8:22it, but quite the opposite. You feel a kind of thing that provokes
- 8:31you and, ultimately, your characters may sound a little bit, a little
- 8:41inspired by the word. Yeah, I mean, they' re like you
- 8:45through those people, you' re wanting to tell something, and it'
- 8:50s not necessarily talking about the artistic quality of what you do. Or I
- 8:52was more interested in being able to tell that story through that very intimate world,
- 9:01the things that go through the head of a sculptor At that age,
- 9:05let' s say when it came to living things as very strong throughout his
- 9:11life and he continues to find stimuli for the creation and occupation of his territory.
- 9:18This doesn' t need to get out of those margins to be happy.
- 9:24Let' s say no more than good the ambition out there to return
- 9:28to nature, because it is also its space of creative feeding. But,
- 9:35well, nothing was like composing certain margins cutting the look of what I wanted
- 9:41to tell about I read, but at no time do I feel that it
- 9:48became that when it was the inierso thing it wasn' t because I was
- 9:52a specialist, nor did I particularly care about the comic book. I was
- 9:54somehow interested in that extraordinary thing that had happened in our lives, that made
- 10:03us know each other, that is, what was there about how it was
- 10:09said. There' s a word in French that' s what it does,
- 10:13that' s just different from the everyday things you say. Well,
- 10:16here' s a movie, because this isn' t what I read now
- 10:24when you found out that there was that thing you' re looking for in
- 10:33your movies that raw material and because you didn' t know it anything but
- 10:39by references from your son. Of course not, well, I didn'
- 10:43t know him by his own reference, but well, his son was almost
- 10:50a casual thing to see him working. But to me I read I had
- 10:56something like a jepeto not that creates a creature that transcends what we merely say
- 11:07the inside of a workshop and I don' t know I was aware from
- 11:13the beginning that I was a character as very rich to exploit, because apart
- 11:20from, it also has something so it happens to people who are already very
- 11:22old, who are beyond everything, that is, are totally uninhibited to what
- 11:28one is going to look for or propose and at the same time I told
- 11:30him I read. I' d like to if you feel like filming you
- 11:33through, once a month, over a period of time exploring this. But
- 11:37to see you, but what do you want to count on this, not
- 11:41as returning to this synthesis of what art should be. There' s not
- 11:43what you' re going to want to tell through this, because if I
- 11:46don' t know if I' m interested in something, that you see
- 11:50a camera, that comes and just registers me, that doesn' t interest
- 11:52me. No, then yes, of course, exactly. Yes, it
- 11:54was and it was good and it was also like a struggle to overcome his
- 12:01own preconceptions of what he expected to be a movie about him. He wasn
- 12:05' t a guy who was already as good as a pitcher for all his
- 12:09years, years of teaching, also of being able to talk in front of
- 12:15a microphone and be as clear as he meant. Well, none of that
- 12:16matters to me. I don' t want you to be the teacher.
- 12:20I want us to look. Not when I come to film that you'
- 12:22ve got everything in place. The sculpture finished. I' m not exactly
- 12:26interested in the process of chaos not showing me that you' ve already been
- 12:31able. But, well, that cost a little, not sure, well
- 12:33somehow it was, as I understand it, to show the back room,
- 12:39the kitchen totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that' s good.
- 12:41I don' t know if a filmmaker would suddenly accept that game as
- 12:46well. Not obvious, if you get signed, no, of course.
- 12:50Of course, especially for a filmmaker who has at most control. He needs
- 12:54that control of knowing what' s going on on the other side of the
- 12:56lens. I wouldn' t be prepared at all for that to happen,
- 13:03but with him you would put him in prande with all my characters. I
- 13:05always need that now, both in your film, before and in this one,
- 13:13there is a poetic, there is a poetic narrative with images. That
- 13:22' s a style you were acquiring. It' s something that comes up
- 13:33doing poetry with images. I say no, I really like the cinema that
- 13:37makes you think, I mean, it' s not necessarily bombarding you with
- 13:46a text, with a music, but it gives you room to question yourself,
- 13:50to go see, to say, to see why it' s there.
- 13:54Piba decided it' s all grown up all this time. Of course,
- 13:58there is something else on this general plane that you want to tell me
- 14:03that you are not just putting yourself into what is happening in an obvious way.
- 14:05So sometimes I don' t know the light that enters in certain ways
- 14:13from a window makes a machine that, obviously, let' s say,
- 14:18has been used for more than a century. Or I don' t know.
- 14:22Things like very small for me contribute a lot to the story that I
- 14:28' m trying to tell and sometimes it' s those little things that sneak
- 14:33around in a dialogue between them or whatever they contribute like that visual poetry that
- 14:37you refer to and that, in short, are the ones that I like
- 14:43most to play or build with. Let' s say, it happened to
- 14:48me with them and working with people who aren' t obviously actors in that
- 14:54real world built through actions that obviously involve a staging because you say. Well,
- 15:00I' m going to tell you this, and I' d like
- 15:03to see a little narrative nucleus later, that' s in the movie,
- 15:07for example, that I read wants to get back a picture that Sara Facio
- 15:13took when she was thirty- four years old in the studio. Well,
- 15:15that' s real and a but, well, if I put them to
- 15:18you, sometimes that first exercise makes things sound a little forced. It'
- 15:26s good that they do it that way and all, but it' s
- 15:31almost like the attitude of a hunter standing there waiting until a moment comes up
- 15:35something that' s extremely spontaneous and that' s where I' m going
- 15:41then it' s like poetry, that' s going to come up,
- 15:43as naturally, in those things, in that waiting. Leo Vinci is defined
- 15:46as a laborer who does not believe in inspiration or sacrifice. What do you
- 15:52believe in when you start a movie? Watch. I consider myself a bore.
- 16:11I think I already came with this story with Lineers, that he said
- 16:15that more than inspiration were the kolo hours that you put in them and that
- 16:22you had to create at least ten things so that ultimately, one is good.
- 16:26I believe a lot in that, in the labour force and in contributing.
- 16:30From that place, I think inspiration is something like very oversized and I
- 16:37think it inspires you. It' s good that inspiration finds you working,
- 16:41because if it happens, when you' re doing anything else, it'
- 16:45s not worth it. But what I like most about reading is this unraveling
- 16:48and turning the word to sacrifice. He says that the word sacrifice especially interests
- 16:53him because it comes of sacred office and for him is a little sculpture,
- 16:57like the sacred building that continues to be chosen every day and that from that
- 17:02place he feels much more identified. Sure, well, and the sacred trade
- 17:07of the González cinema. Then let' s remember that good. Franca González
- 17:14is the director of Vinci full- length, this documentary that will be seen
- 17:19on Friday at the CSK, in the framework of women and cinema, the
- 17:23Festival la Mujer, the cinema at 18 hours, at 18 hours. Okay,
- 17:29and from Sunday five Sunday May five every Sunday in May at 19 o
- 17:36' clock in the cinema art Cacodelfia, formerly called Obama. But well,
- 17:41that cinema art that many people know because it' s there close to the
- 17:47obelisk on diagonal rock. Yeah, it' s exactly Gua to the North.
- 17:49We invite you not to miss this documentary by Franca González. I really
- 17:56appreciate you joining us here at the Radio audio- visual GPS studios. Thank
- 18:03you, Julia. You let me add just one little thing that' s
- 18:08not just I think it' s interesting for people. It' s not
- 18:12a documentary about plastic arts. It' s much smoother, much more aprectative
- 18:17than that. But it' s going to be good that all the screenings,
- 18:22both the women' s and cinema' s and the Cacodelfia' s,
- 18:25we' re going to be always with leo, chatting with the audience.
- 18:26At the end of the delicious film, well, then all invited to
- 18:33watch this great documentary. We' re moving on to Radio Audiovisual GPS.
- 18:45It was good times, we felt beautiful, Gnidades te Aflix. Thank you,
- 18:59but the passage of time. Paulito probrito, which is inevitable, says
- 19:06that you pushed raulito down the balcony. Son of a bitch that bitch runs
- 19:11her,' cause I' m gonna take her all to us it'
- 19:19s late. I don' t know where the fuck to look for something.
- 19:25It' s like I forgot everything back, because I painted something like
- 19:32finding something, it says something that transformed a date. I can' t
- 19:41pinter nas. I need to ask you a question you want to know if
- 19:48she' s your daughter. I know all my life. Barbota' s
- 19:52dead. You did well the fuck out of the other night. Pablito fell
- 19:56by himself and the troll you let me have the trunk of the car.
- 20:00Embargo, look at my friend. Tama trasticos de puntas and as the pieces
- 20:04fit, fabulous wolf, missing one last power creates Vladimir, a film by
- 20:22Martin Riunich with Daniel Aras, Carlos Belloso, Marcelo Melingo and cast Vladimir premiere
- 20:30in Salas 11 April. The clouds of Eduardo Pinto will have its world premiere
- 20:42at the Fantastic Film Festival in Bilbao that begins on Friday three. He will
- 20:49then compete at the Toronto Festival in Toledo, continuing his international journey. We
- 20:56' re with Eduardo Pinto. Thank you so much for joining us. I
- 21:00don' t know, Eduardo, how are you? I think you'
- 21:04re mutated,' cause I' m not listening to you see there he
- 21:11hears you perfect. Well, well, how are you? Well, you
- 21:15' re very happy here to welcome you and good with this news. Also,
- 21:18how the cloud project came about. Eduardo Bueno looks at the project born
- 21:26a little. I have an actor friend named Guillermo Zapata, who we know
- 21:29from many years ago and who always said to make a film in this we
- 21:37are always generating projects and some years ago, ten ago, we started working
- 21:44on a project that didn' t go out and three years ago we didn
- 21:49' t return to the meeting and we started working on this cloud project,
- 21:55which is an initial text that Diego Ramos wrote, which is a schoolmate from
- 22:00Guillermo' s elementary school and he passed it to me and I started working
- 22:07and we added Gaby Macías and Natalia Torres, who are two very interesting screenwriters.
- 22:15And well, we got to a script for a great script, and
- 22:21we decided to sign it, that is, it was born of a friendship
- 22:26with Guillermo and the need to tell stories and what describes the axis of the
- 22:33story, because well, now it' s going to premiere in Bilbao,
- 22:36then in Toledo, but it' s still missing for us to see here
- 22:38in Argentina. Not exactly. Yeah, the movie' s a thriller,
- 22:45it' s a story. He' s a thriller. It is a
- 22:48story of three thieves who are engaged in stealing dirty silver, declared silver from
- 22:59the politics of the black economy. They receive data from a political pointer and
- 23:07from there generate these police events. A film of suspense and also has a
- 23:15lot of action, but it has a social fabric that speaks a little bit
- 23:26about the darkness of the democratic system. So the film combines a little bit
- 23:30of that, that is, the social fabric of democracy. He' s
- 23:40so weak that we have the story of these three thieves, who are Diego
- 23:47Cremonese, Guillermo Zapata and Andrea Rincón. And then there' s another line
- 23:53there, which is maybe the psychological part of the character. Character of William,
- 24:00who has a past there in his childhood, something that has marked him
- 24:03for his whole life. And then each character was already doing Andrea' s
- 24:07or Cremonés', if they have family personal conflicts there. Well what the
- 24:15film does there combine all these narrative lines and do something like I think it
- 24:21' s a very film. The people who watched it tell me it'
- 24:26s a very, very powerful film, a lot of power and, besides,
- 24:30a very powerful cast. Not because you just named them three, but
- 24:37Luciano Cáceres is there and that Hermo Zapata, Alberto Ajaca, Leonor Manso,
- 24:42Patricio Contrera, Daniel Fanego, I say a cast. This is only achieved
- 24:49in two ways, with a wallet or friends in whomever. What' s
- 24:56your total Julia case in the wallets once it' s not my case.
- 25:00And this is with friends, this is with talented friends. I mean,
- 25:08I mean, this is an independent movie. We continue well, we have
- 25:12done it outside the industrial system, We have filmed it as in various stages
- 25:21and yes, as you say, the artists support us, trust in the
- 25:29final product and good and so I work with Fanego, with Llonor Manso bueno,
- 25:33the Luciano Alberto Ajaca, Luciano Cáceres, who is again he was to
- 25:38be a bigger character. He ended up making a character, a participation and
- 25:44thus a list of actors. Maria Zubiri, Ninna Spinetta. I don'
- 25:51t know it' s like a cast. I' m not very aware
- 25:53of them anymore. It' s happening to me. Good wisdom happened to
- 25:56me, but I am not very aware what I do know is that this
- 26:00is one that we always face with the group of artists, serious and true
- 26:07proposals, with intentions of art, of narrative, of ascension. So,
- 26:15as you say, wallet, friendship and talent. Yes, of course,
- 26:21well I was deliberately asking you, it' s not, because I know
- 26:26that you work that way and that, besides, the actors want to work
- 26:32with you, the actors and the actresses. Now, at the age of
- 26:34twenty, you incorporated a phrase from the taxi posters that said on every street,
- 26:41in each place there is a forgotten character, desperate to prove that it
- 26:47exists. It' s the perfect phrase. That' s the cloud that
- 26:52keeps that premise. You' re the director of the forgotten characters. Yes,
- 26:57yes, yes, they are yes, clearly they are characters and not
- 27:03only they are forgotten, but they are humanized. They' re not thieves.
- 27:08Like we don' t get in. They are not thieves of economic
- 27:17necessity from the neighborhoods, they are people, perhaps from another social level,
- 27:23but that each one in the film is not that they appear shooting. There
- 27:27is no moment where we stop and show each character' s human conflict.
- 27:34And that seems to me to be good, because it makes everything more plausible.
- 27:41That' s a feature of your cinema. On the other hand,
- 27:45Eduardo asks for the social, the profile of the characters and the crossing of
- 27:51genres. Well, in this case he' s a thriller, he'
- 27:56s a cop, too, but he' s got something to look at,
- 28:00he' s got something social. What I was telling you before is
- 28:03that there is talk of this clash of yellows, of celestial political parties and
- 28:11of dollars, because that' s when you see the movie that soon the
- 28:15bullet was based to see is talked about colors and that' s there as
- 28:18a proposal. But I say no. The film is a movie that has
- 28:22a fantastic side also because there is a ghost turning also in the head of
- 28:30the character Guillermo Zapata and it appears and then it takes you and you end
- 28:37up understanding in the end why this character. So good play. It also
- 28:42has and has action scenes. It has two or three intense action scenes that
- 28:48I am happy with the result. Where you filmed. We signed it in
- 28:53general Rodriguez entirely and there are some scenes that we have filmed in the north,
- 29:00in the Quiaca and in Humahuaca. Those border crossings, perhaps those border
- 29:07crossings, those boundaries to be transgressed Aha. Well, Eduardo Pinto here with
- 29:18us on GPS audio- visual Radio. Little bit, little bit by little
- 29:25hours of leaving. So for Spain, May 7th will be world premiered its
- 29:30new movie in the clouds. This is going to be at the Bilbao Festival.
- 29:36Then Toledo and then, well, we' ll find out. We
- 29:41' re going to be very busy after the fight there starts like a series
- 29:47of festivals. There is one more very important for the end of the year
- 29:49that we can not yet say anything, but the Fight starts and also Julia
- 29:55I will premiere in the month of June. There, in Madrid we premiered
- 30:00a film that I directed in Spain, called El Attico Ajá. It'
- 30:03s an independent movie that I also go there to premiere, to show well
- 30:11then that' ll be another contact. I' m sending you a huge
- 30:15abrausus. I wish you well and well, we' re still on GPS,
- 30:21audio- visual radio. Thank you, Eduardo, a hug was totally
- 30:38the 2, 000th account of the Mountain. The Argentine opera Federico Luis,
- 30:48will compete in the festival in the sixth- third edition of the week of
- 30:56criticism of the Kans Festival, which begins the May kid. We are like
- 31:03Federico Luis, director of Simon de la Montaña. It is a pleasure to
- 31:08welcome you here in GPS and audiovisual radio and good and also, to know
- 31:14that through this participation of yours the Argentine cinema will have a great stained glass
- 31:18there at the festival, at one of the most important festivals in the world.
- 31:22Not what Cans is like, how are you? Thank you for the
- 31:30invitation yes, as you say, I feel above all as a responsibility to
- 31:37be able to represent the cinema of our country well and to be able to
- 31:45spread the word of the situation in which you are asking for help. If
- 31:49that' s why she' s also a very important stained glass window and
- 31:56you feel an extra weight for this well, I feel it' s a
- 32:01rare and particular situation. I feel like it' s like news, which
- 32:09could be good news, but within the framework in which it is, it
- 32:13' s more difficult to take it as such and above all I think it
- 32:23does, which carries a responsibility. Perhaps in other times I would have thought
- 32:27more within the film and now it is inevitable to think as outwards. Of
- 32:30course, of course, well, preliminary and superficial information says that Simon of
- 32:37the Mountain is a human drama that questions the look on disability. What the
- 32:44movie Federico is about. Well, the film does try a little bit to
- 32:53challenge the most common and common ideas about human capacity. Just the word disability
- 33:04is a word that I' m like trying to think about if it'
- 33:09s a word that would be good to keep using or that would be good
- 33:16to stop using, because it puts a lot of accent on an absence or
- 33:22about defining the characters in the movie through something they would have missed in relation
- 33:31to an idea of a normality that also to question. So, the first
- 33:37thing I think until I can find some term that is a little more human,
- 33:44is also, at least, manifest as a disagreement with that word.
- 33:52Well, and how did you get on that subject? What drew you to
- 34:01tell this story? Yeah, I' ve been getting close to several movies
- 34:14and years ago in different ways. In particular, the idea of this film.
- 34:21A little appeared to me in a conversation with one of the characters,
- 34:27character of the film called Pehuen Pedre now also premiered a short in real vision
- 34:35that is starred by him, also by Lorenzo Ferro and Austin Daulte, where
- 34:43he already put some of Simon' s ideas of the mountain to the test.
- 34:52And in a conversation with Pehuen, he asked me why I didn'
- 34:55t have my disability certificate at a time when we were kind of exposing the
- 35:00things we thought were the imperfect areas that each one had and when I started
- 35:07thinking as more carefully about that question, it went away as revealing a little
- 35:15bit the idea of this movie. Well, you just named who the central
- 35:23character would be. Let' s not say the protagonist is Lorenzo Loneso Ferro,
- 35:30who is Simon, but Pegüen Pedre is a key figure in this story
- 35:39and to him how you arrived. It' s just commented that you have
- 35:44a short preview, but what attracted you to decide that Bueno was almost the
- 35:51co- star of your film. Okay. I met him in a theater
- 35:55class that a friend gives to me called Tamara Garzón, in which she has
- 36:05a large number of students, with many different particularities, both physical and mental,
- 36:13and within that group of people that brought me a lot of attraction always
- 36:22and a lot of curiosity was Pehuen, who perhaps was the person with whom
- 36:31I achieved a bond the most. And it' s a bond that comes
- 36:37as if perhaps without at first an idea that that would transform into a movie
- 36:43and then it was transformed as I got to know it and it was like
- 36:49I could see the world a little bit through it. I mean, that
- 36:54' s good, it' s a story that was built through the bond.
- 36:59Above all, I understand what you' re counting on. Yeah,
- 37:01yeah, mostly, yeah, Pehuen is just like me thirty and good is
- 37:08one year younger than me. At one point. I, when I started
- 37:13to know him, felt that it was like knowing another version of what my
- 37:17life could have done, because we went through many similar things and different things
- 37:25and a little bit that through knowing him more, I also knew more to
- 37:29myself a little bit of that place of uncertainty of identity started to appear to
- 37:36me as something cinematographic, little by little and to charge like that form of
- 37:45fictional film that at first was more a form of friendship, then it was
- 37:52a more form of a more documentary essay that is in the short, like
- 38:00a good stone snake, which is the one that premiered in bisondurir yes and
- 38:04like with those ideas, ideas that I already brought also about a story of
- 38:10another character. A little bit of that stuff went off mixing and the story
- 38:16of Simon of the Mountain was built. The mountain is just another very important
- 38:24element within this story. It wasn' t hard shooting to incorporate that landscape
- 38:35into history. The landscape is perhaps something that also came more from my biography
- 38:45and perhaps was like a more isolated element of what the characters and the links
- 38:51of this particular story were. But yes, it gave me a lot of
- 38:58the feeling that I liked to think that Simon is like a fantastic construction and
- 39:05that he is a character that what he does is gather a lot of questions
- 39:08and concerns around these issues of identity. Then I kind of liked the idea
- 39:19of thinking of it as a mythical half- character, as a character almost
- 39:28so in the antipodes of the naturalist, of the documentary, that it was
- 39:34almost a character like an ancient novel and the context of the mountain. It
- 39:43was a bit like an emergence for that kind of characters that at the same
- 39:49time gave me the feeling that I, being in a landscape like the mountain
- 39:52and having my character in there, was going to have to make much more
- 39:57drastic decisions about him, how to film him not, like I had a
- 40:02very amazing landscape around and I had to decide if I would prefer in each
- 40:09frame to film in what percentage to the mountain and in what percentage to the
- 40:15character. I remember now. You don' t know what I thought before,
- 40:22but I remember now when Pinsky told Gerzo that he was tired, that
- 40:28he was filming open plans because he had gone all the way to Peru and
- 40:32that he wanted me to film it to him. And that didn' t
- 40:36happen to me. But it didn' t happen to me that an actor
- 40:37or that a character kind of posed something like that to me, but I
- 40:43did think about it a lot. I, like, all the time I
- 40:45thought between the mountain and the character. Of course, who acquires the most
- 40:53prominence at a certain time, not one at a time. Well Federico Luis,
- 40:58director of Simon de la Montaña, this human drama starring Lorenzo Ferro,
- 41:04which integrates the week of criticism of the Kans Festival Now, in a few
- 41:08days, you will be there presenting your film. Thank you so much for
- 41:15joining us and good congratulations for this arrival in such a window of international cinema.
- 41:22Thank you so much. We continue and hope to be able to carry
- 41:30the flag a little to the Argentine cinema so that it resonates a little in
- 41:35the world of the situation that we have to live now. That' s
- 41:37how it' ll be then. Thank you very much we continue on GPS
- 41:51Audiovisual Radio of the interest so on Gran tanto and seven productions in four competitive
- 42:08categories and ten video minutes. Among other activities, they integrate the programming of
- 42:15the eleventh edition of the International Film Festival on the Work to Build Cinema,
- 42:22organized by the Social Network WUACRA, which is to be held from 6 to
- 42:2714 May in a face- to- face manner at the San Martín Cultural
- 42:32Center and at Vicente López' s York Cinema. At the same time,
- 42:37it will also maintain its online programming, available on October platforms, TV,
- 42:43lumitón and the festival website itself. We then received here on GPS Audiovisual Radio
- 42:52the executive director of building TV and the Festival Construir Cine, Alejandra Marano.
- 42:59Very welcome to the n how you' re there we' re listening to
- 43:07you. If you were mutated, I think it' s good how it
- 43:13impacts this film building edition. The reality facing the film industry in particular and
- 43:19the Argentine culture in general, impacts strongly. Not we are trying to carry
- 43:31out the editing. Anyway, it will be a little more compact, but
- 43:36we try not to be good, not to lose the commitment that we have
- 43:43had for eleven years and that has the Ukrainian social network, to give a
- 43:47space to those films that address a topic that for us is fundamental, that
- 43:52is the work and it crosses us from all places, that is, not
- 43:58only from the cultural reality in the particular rich graphic cinematography, but also from
- 44:00the Argentine reality. I mean, it' s an issue that comes with
- 44:06everything right in May, I think it' s going to go through a
- 44:08general strike. We' re seeing there, well, how we' re
- 44:15going to reschedule, because obviously, that day probably doesn' t work at
- 44:19all. Impact from all over the place. On the one hand, it
- 44:22impacts from logistics, but well, from the budget, you also try to
- 44:28take it forward. Fewer events are made, but the same amount of projections
- 44:34or at least we try to make the same amount of projections a smaller team.
- 44:37Well, there we are, delighted to be able to cope. But
- 44:43it also impacts from the emotional, because we talk about work, sustainable development
- 44:49and for us that has to do with social justice and it has to do
- 44:54with economic, social and environmental justice and it seems to me things now that
- 45:00are on the table. Then we couldn' t not do the editing.
- 45:05We didn' t want to delay them, because for us Mayo is a
- 45:08very momentous month. So, well, nothing goes through us from all sides,
- 45:14but we hope that we can fulfill our mission, which is to give
- 45:19the movies a space so that what they reflect from the reality we live in
- 45:24can be seen. We expect everyone to come to the show. We hope
- 45:30to receive them in Sala Manuel, Antín del Cultural San Martín, which always
- 45:35opens the doors to us, and also the cinema York Star libr Online a
- 45:40part of the programming, because for issues of rights and of the films tours,
- 45:45obviously not all can be online. Some of them are gonna be one
- 45:50good day. They' re going to be there a little bit of the
- 45:54online grid that we' re going to announce. They already have the closing
- 46:00opening films. They' re going to be part of the competing movies.
- 46:05We spoke with greetings for a family of yair a good movie, a documentary
- 46:12hybrid. It' s a documentary, but there' s a lot of
- 46:19the identity of the artists' work, which we also thought was important to
- 46:22open with a film like that. Sure, yeah, and good. Also
- 46:28that day we are going to have an Argentine short film by a director who
- 46:35is called bright banks, very nice, very nice documentary. Okay. I
- 46:39don' t want to talk much about flutes because, as they' re
- 46:45all in competition, I don' t want to privilege any because we'
- 46:52ve received a thousand seven hundred and eighty inscriptions from all over the world.
- 46:52Ah well, yes, a lot, luckily, of which two hundred and
- 46:57forty- five were national many short films. The truth is that in national
- 47:04was a record. And how they got to this selection, because I guess
- 47:09with so much repercussion people who want to participate more and more in building in
- 47:20the festival, building cinema, how they came to this selection that they are
- 47:25going to present now and what is the thematic lge. There is a thematic
- 47:29axis that crosses the programming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The first thing
- 47:32we look at is about film quality. That is, we are dealing with
- 47:39all the films that are in competition, that are to compete, that have
- 47:46a cinematographic quality, that represent us, that are author films and that have
- 47:53a look that goes through the theme of the festival itself, that has a
- 47:59relationship with the world of work and its cross, with sustainable development and how
- 48:02things affect us such as migration, climate change. Well, the work of
- 48:08the artists, which sometimes has its particularity, good works as in this case,
- 48:15this short walkways that are the ones that go at night transporting things in
- 48:21the river from one side to the other. Well, we try to have
- 48:25a diversity of themes, but also that represent the seventeen objectives of Agenda twenty
- 48:32- thirty, but also film quality. There' s an author' s
- 48:38look in the movies. Well, you are already working on the objectives of
- 48:45Agenda 2030, so this year you will strengthen it even more I understand year.
- 48:53Let' s go full with that,' cause we don' t
- 48:59think that' s enough. It seems to us that this is a time
- 49:04to strengthen it, because in our country, because it is something that out
- 49:08there seems extremely theoretical, the objectives of the Agenda two thousand thirty. There
- 49:10are times when we are about this with people or with other festivals, and
- 49:15some tell us, but as yet they are not even so aware of what
- 49:20gendaireinta is, Agenda twenty thirty, the truth that it is a framework that
- 49:22goes from democracy, social justice, inequalities, well, climate change, the
- 49:30work that for us is decent work, that has to do with that work
- 49:36that not only complies with the rules of legal work, but perhaps also strives
- 49:38to meet the expectations of working life for workers. So sometimes, when you
- 49:53say you brought decent, many times you asked me but what there are indecent
- 49:58jobs. It doesn' t have to do with that, but it has
- 50:01to do with the fact that work is part of our life structure and that
- 50:08' s what we want to reflect in the festival, sometimes positively, it
- 50:14' s reflected in movies and sometimes negatively. And also have the space to
- 50:19show that and be able to generate a dialogue, a debate about this.
- 50:25That is, I understand that there are also planned activities that have to do
- 50:30not only with the projections of these films, but with what they propose thematically.
- 50:37Yeah, there' s good. We' ve got, like,
- 50:42pretty advanced. I don' t want to confirm it now because we'
- 50:45re just like the last ones. But almost all Argentine directors, at least
- 50:46those who can come, want to come and talk. For example, on
- 50:52Wednesday eight in the York cinema, the eighteen thirty we have the movie of
- 50:58the star I lost is going tubustes and it is also a film that speaks
- 51:02of actresses, of age, of actress, of woman age and how that
- 51:10is combined. It seems to us to be a very representative film, especially
- 51:15for the genre. It cost us a lot. Women' s movies cost
- 51:17us a lot. There weren' t so many inscriptions, luckily, the
- 51:22ones that were very good, so we could put our granite there. Almost
- 51:31as many directors as you can. There are directors from Uruguay who also told
- 51:36me we' re going. It doesn' t matter that the festival can
- 51:40' t help us. We want to go, we are trying to go
- 51:44and then we also have a special screening of some short films produced by the
- 51:50International Labour Organization on child labour, which for us is a fundamental topic that
- 51:54has also to do with reducing inequalities, having there a panel with authorities of
- 52:02the International Labour Organization and COPRETI, which is the organization that is responsible for
- 52:08the Office of the Ombudsman of the Nation. Well everything to talk about child
- 52:12labor, so it' s one of the spotlights I understand this year,
- 52:15this edition, to build cinema. Yes, child labour is always present,
- 52:21but yes, this year we put it as a little bit more because the
- 52:25International Labour Organization asked us as the space for the projection of these shorts and
- 52:30it seemed to us that it was a good time. Also childhoods, such
- 52:36as the two corners, childhoods and the elderly, which is sometimes so under
- 52:39- represented or poorly represented or poorly represented in the cinema or well, yes,
- 52:49over there on TV more, so let' s talk. There is
- 52:52also the film, that murmur of Uruguay, which speaks of old age,
- 52:58which is also very interesting. So, in total, how many movies as
- 53:02soon as you' re doing hundreds of films in competition, we have ten
- 53:12video minutes, we have the focus of sustainable development, which is five movies,
- 53:19and then we have these good International Labour Organization shorts. Much to see
- 53:22then, in this eleventh edition of the International Film Festival, build cinema that
- 53:30well, with effort arrived and will then be in theaters and also in its
- 53:38online version, as it has been happening for a couple of years. Then
- 53:43I nominate the headquarters because you already named them, but thank all the headquarters.
- 53:46Not also, because the doors always open to us are added screens then
- 53:52that is very important also for the diffusion and circulation of the contents. Alejandra,
- 54:00thank you very much for this participation in GPS audiovisual Radio. Well,
- 54:06we' ll be reporting then everything that' s going on about this new
- 54:13edition of building cinema. We' re sending you a huge hug and we
- 54:17' re seeing each other saying goodbye here then with Alejandra Marano on this new
- 54:27radio audiovisual GPS broadcast. We expect you as always, next Wednesday here on
- 54:31radio train live topic from 19 o' clock and you know remember as we
- 54:38always say, but now more than ever, watch Argentine cinema until next week
