SUMMARY:Homo Argentum
DESCRIPTION:HOMO ARGENTUM\nDirs. Mariano Cohn\, Gastón Duprat\nWriter: Andrés Duprat\nArgentina\n2025 \n”Argentine actors are so good when they’re authentic. I’m thinking of Federico Luppi\, Ricardo Darín\, Francella\, people like that. And what a joy it is to have directors like Duprat and Cohn\, who constantly challenge conventions\, the dogmas of woke culture\, and the superficial avant-garde”. Carlos Boyero\, El País. \nA riotous and sharply perceptive anthology comedy from the acclaimed Argentine duo Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat\, unfolds across sixteen distinct episodes\, each led by Guillermo Francella in a remarkable display of comic range and character work. Rooted in the spirit of classic Italian satire\, the film deploys humour and irony to examine the contradictions\, absurdities\, and contradictions of contemporary life and identity in urban Argentina. Celebrated in Argentina as both a box-office phenomenon and a provocative cultural artefact\, the film cements Cohn and Duprat’s reputation for blending entertainment with incisive social insight\, while confirming Francella’s standing as one of Latin America’s most versatile performers. \nThis is the ninth feature film by the Argentine duo; in 2012\, VLAFF held a retrospective of their work with the presence of screenwriter Andres Duprat. \nTICKETS:

SUMMARY:The Blue Trail
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Gabriel Mascaro\nBrazil\n2025 \n”A magical escape from exile to freedom” The Hollywood Reporter \nTereza\, 77\, has lived her whole life in a small industrialised town in the Amazon\, until one day she receives an official government order to relocate to a senior housing colony. The colony is an isolated area where the elderly are brought to “enjoy” their final years\, freeing the younger generation to focus fully on productivity and growth. Tereza refuses to accept this imposed fate. Instead\, she embarks on a transformative journey through the rivers and tributaries of the Amazon to fulfil one last wish before her freedom is taken away – a decision that will change her destiny forever. \nWorld Premiere\, Berlin Film Festival 2025 \n \n
