PANORAMA: ANASTASHA DE ANTONIO FORTUNIC

Por Mónica Delgado

Anastasha (1994), un falso documental peruano, y por ende, una clara intención de arrancar lo mejor de este subgénero desde la mofa, o el pastiche. Una actriz, que recuerda a la Gloria Swanson de Sunset Boulevard, es una supuesta actriz peruana que debido a su talento y versatilidad actuó en películas de los renombrados cineastas Luchino Visconti o Federico Babiloni, y que alcanzó el culto de diva

NEW DIRECTORS/ NEW FILMS 2013

By Tristan Teshigahara Pollack

Matias Pineiro, a graduate from Universidad del cine (one of Argentina’s most prestigious universities), has a profound obsession with the uneventful.

PANORAMA: TRAVELING LIGHT BY GINA TELAROLI

By Jose Sarmiento

Traveling Light dwells on the subject of travel in all its metaphysical sense, either as a documentary of travel, as a recreation, or as a mixture of both.

PANORAMA: WILD AND PRECIOUS BY BILL MOUSOULIS

By Mónica Delgado

Under the eye of a camera which follows its characters with the immediacy and texture of digital cinema, Bill Mousoulis proposes a fiction contextualized in the current Greek economic crisis, which works not as a backdrop for the film, but as a symbolic spleen for its lead character, an old Italian filmmaker drawn to the political chaos and social critique in Athens, desperate to document it, away from him family and friends.
