News | THREE SNAPSHOTS OF LIFE

The short film program featuring Buenos días resistencia, Tábula rasa and Resistente offers thematic, geographic and temporal diversity although, in sum, it is made up of three small masterpieces about human beings and their circumstances. Buenos días resistencia, by Spanish director Adrián Orr, depicts the everyday life of a father and his three children at the time they get up to go to school (and everything involved, as parents well know). Tábula rasa, by Argentine director Jonathan Perel (who directed En el predio, premiered at BAFICI 2010), provides a different view of what the Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada (Navy Petty-Officers School of Mechanics) is and represents today. And Resistente, made by Paraguayan Renate Soria and Finnish Salla Sorri in the framework of the Danish CPH: DOX Festival, follows an old Italian immigrant who lives alone in the Paraguayan jungle, with no other communication with the outside world than through letters. There are tickets available for today, Thursday at 2.30 p.m. at Village Recoleta and for Sunday at 7 p.m. at CC San Martín: they can be purchased on this website or in person at each venues’ box office.
