The Next Station (2008)
La próxima estación WikiData IMDb TMDB
other title: La próxima estación
The history of the Argentine railways, from 1857 until the crisis of the current transport system. The closing of branches of the railway lines turned towns whose main source of work was the train into ghost towns. The privatization of the lines caused the dismissal of tens of thousands of workers as well as the deterioration of public service, causing in turn the increase of motor transport and the multiplication of automobile accidents.

Three in the Drift of the Creative Art (2021)
Tres en la deriva del acto creativo Douban
费尔南多·索拉纳斯 actor: 费尔南多·索拉纳斯 / Eduardo Pavlovsky …
other title: 创新艺术洪流中的三杰 / Tres en la deriva del acto creativo
Helmer of one of Argentina’s most remarkable filmographies, Fernando “Pino” Solanas ends his career with a documentary in which he explores the mysteries of creation alongside two other great artists who are in the final stages of their lives: actor and playwright Eduardo “Tato” Pavlovsky and visual artist Luis Felipe Noé. Talking about issues such as exile, political commitment, crises and desire, they share experiences and reflect on the origin of their ideas and the material exercise of creativity. As a closure that overflows with vitality and also looks at death right in the eye, Tres a la deriva del acto creativo is not just the end of a brilliant career, but also a true testament that reaffirms constant restlessness and curiosity as inalienable qualities for all those who want to devote their life to art.

看不见的阿根廷 (2007)
Argentina latente Douban
other title: Argentina latente
《阿根廷潜力》采用了胶片拍摄,制作更为精良。它不再是记录和反思历史,而把希望寄托在了年轻一代身上。“我跑遍全国,看到一些很让人担心的现象:最深的感受是我们是一个多么穷困的国家,我们失去了一切。我问‘谁是Conrado Varotto(阿根廷浓缩铀项目之父)?’现在的阿根廷人对球员和明星的八卦津津乐道,包括一些作家和导演也热衷于低俗的东西,却对自己国家的科技一无所知。我不禁疑惑:‘谁筑的大坝?’,‘谁造的飞机?’”《阿根廷潜力》访问了众多工程师、物理学家、工人、研究员、教师,告诉阿根廷人,自己的国家在哪些方面处于世界领先地位(制造高度复杂的精良仪器,用于科学研究的核反应堆)。没有愤世嫉俗,也没有宣传的噱头,从这个意义上说它是一部比《社会性屠杀》更优秀的纪录片。

other title: 洗劫回忆录 / Memoria del saqueo …
After the fall of the military dictatorship in 1983, successive democratic governments launched a series of reforms purporting to turn Argentina into the world's most liberal and prosperous economy. Less than twenty years later, the Argentinians have lost literally everything: major national companies have been sold well below value to foreign corporations; the proceeds of privatizations have been diverted into the pockets of corrupt officials; revised labour laws have taken away all rights from employees; in a country that is traditionally an important exporter of foodstuffs, malnutrition is widespread; millions of people are unemployed and sinking into poverty; and their savings have disappeared in a final banking collapse. The film highlights numerous political, financial, social and judicial aspects that mark out Argentina's road to ruin.

Viejo Reales' Long Way Journey to Death (2008)
El Camino hacia la muerte del viejo Reales Douban
Gerardo Vallejo / Octavio Getino … actor: Gerardo Ramón Reales
other title: 通向死亡的漫长旅程 / El Camino hacia la muerte del viejo Reales
Gerardo Vallejo's first film tells the story of the Reales family, which the director had already approached in Las cosas ciertas, a previous short film made within the context of the Santa Fe Documentary Film School. As Vallejo would recall later: "We wanted to discover, first, and create, later, using each character's life as a starting point. We shot what we could for a certain time until we ran out of film. Then we printed and copied it. The analysis of that material –plus new footage we shot later– determined a narrative structure. The initial testimonial goal was later enriched by reenactment sequences filmed with the same protagonists." The result is one of the best documentaries in the history of Latin American cinema. It was the second politically committed film made by the Cine Liberación group after The Hour of Furnaces, in which Vallejo also collaborated. A new print will be screened, obtained by APROCINAIN (Association for the Support of the Audiovisual Patrimony and the National Film Library) thanks to the kindness of Eva Piwowarski. Gerardo Vallejo was born in Tucumán, Argentina, in 1942. After graduating from the Santa Fe Film School, he made the short film Las cosas ciertas. He was an assistant director in The Hour of the Furnaces (1966-68) and created the film series Testimonios de Tucumán (1968-69). He directed, among others, The Rigorous Fate (1985) and Martín Fierro, el ave solitaria (2006).
