Film Lounge
Early key works and new short film productions
Thu, Sep 10–Sun, Sep 20, 2015
In 1995, “Historias breves” compiled ten short films by students at the Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires and is often described as a cornerstone of New Argentine Cinema. Three years later, “Mala época” was another short film compilation by young directors from the university, which grew to become one of the chief settings for the movement. Also in 1998, “Pizza, birra, faso,” which puts its protagonists within the Buenos Aires milieu of small-time criminals, was a surprise success among audiences and critics alike.
Wong Kar-Wai’s classic film “Happy Together” reflects a look from the outside. The city itself plays the leading role in the story of Ho and Lai, who relocate from Hong Kong to Buenos Aires in their search for love.
In addition, the film lounge presents a new award-winning generation of filmmakers in a selection of shorts from the past three years.
