Papirosen

Jan 24, 2014
A portrait of Argentine director Gastón Solnicki's family over the course of the second half of the 20th century, Papirosen follows four generations still troubled by a war that’s never spoken of. The film juxtaposes different periods with their native image formats, along with landscapes, characters and international political events, as it focuses on a singular decade of a nouveau riche Argentine Jewish family, and the new generation’s introduction into familiar traumas and vitality.

A Little Love Package

Feb 17, 2022
Vienna, 2019 – the end of an era. The smoking ban in public places means that a part of Kaffeehaus culture has disappeared. Of all moments, this is the one that Angeliki chooses to buy an apartment with help from her interior designer friend, Carmen. Angeliki seems to have something against all of them: either the parquet floors creak, the tiles are the wrong colour or she is bothered by the proximity to a restaurant. How will she ever find a new home in this environment? Carmen feels like she’s talking to a brick wall. Moreover, she simply cannot understand why Angeliki is refusing to part with her money. A Journey from Vienna to Malaga, via salt flats overcast by mysterious shadows. A homage to the Austrian capital and the bygone splendour in ordinary things.

F begins to follow two young anarchists who sporty usurp abandoned commercial storefronts and apartments. These three strangers will become closer after subtle acts of trespassing and sporadic forays into civil disobedience. The longing for exile and the fantasy that a promising future is somewhere else contaminates F. The city is immersed in an eternal holding pattern, becoming into a singular artifact, as melancholy as uncanny.

Camuflaje de clase

Jan 01, 1970
Argentina Buenos Aires, 1968. The boundaries between everyday life and art are blurry. While increasing political and institutional violence, artists try to transform their ideas into realities. The dictatorship plans to stay in power for a century with the self-assigned mission of “morally healing” Argentina’s spirit. Among broken artists, emerging pop stars, poets with metallic voices, and collectors running shady deals, Prat, a young and morally ambiguous upstart, is a new face in the art scene. Is he a service provider, an artist, or just another outcast? He meets Omar, an artist he admires, and Maria, a mystical anarchist hiding her oligarch lineage. The trio wanders through nightclubs, spontaneous fashion shows, psycho-magical group therapy sessions, and dinners in the rooms of bitter political figures. The backdrop is a collapse that seems imminent.
