Friday 16 October is entirely dedicated to the unconventional Argentine film collective El Pampero Cine. Discover their infectious storytelling style and unique working methods during two screenings and a Director's Talk with co-founders Mariano Llinás and Agustín Mendilaharzu.

El Pampero Cine has always challenged conventional ideas about how films are made and who gets to make them. In this Director's Talk, Mariano Llinás and Agustín Mendilaharzu look back at the collective working methods, artistic influences, and alternative production models that have shaped their work. This Director's Talk will be held in English.

 

Symposium: El Pampero Cine | 16 October


On Friday, October 16, immerse yourself for a full day in the radical and playful universe of El Pampero Cine at Kinepolis 9. Discover the Argentine film collective's distinctive way of working through two film screenings and a Director’s Talk:

9:30 Screening: Pin de Fartie (Alejo Moguillansky)
11:30 Director's Talk: El Pampero Cine – Infinite Stories
14:00 Screening: Historias extraordinarias (Mariano Llinás)

Attend just one part of the program, or make a full day of it with El Pampero.

A ticket for Historias extraordinarias or Pin de Fartie on 16 October 16 grants you access to the Director's Talk.

What does it mean to make a film without fixed roles, hierarchies, or a single author at the helm? In the Director's Talk El Pampero Cine: Infinite Stories, Mariano Llinás and Agustín Mendilaharzu discuss the collaborative practice of El Pampero Cine, alternative production models, and the question of who actually makes a film. From the collective theater practice of Piel de Lava to the fantastic literature of Borges, Bioy Casares, and Silvina Ocampo, the boundaries between literature, theater, music, and cinema constantly blur. How do such cross-pollinations influence their storytelling and their ideas about authorship?
