Neighboring Scenes: New Latin American Cinema 2016
January 7 - 10, 2016
A paramilitary group led by a despotic, Aguirre-like leader makes its way through Patagonia in the hopes of uniting and purifying society in Benjamín Naishtat’s masterfully shot and chilling follow-up to History of Fear (New Directors/New Films 2014).
Continuing his preoccupation with violence and Argentina’s past, Benjamín Naishtat (History of Fear, a New Directors/New Films 2014 selection) dramatizes a crucial moment in that nation’s history characterized by political zealotry and terrorism. Pablo Cedrón portrays the fiery, unhinged leader of a mysterious militia (modeled on Confederacy-era dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas’s Mazorca) who wantonly roam the pampas in an effort to “purify” and unite society, killing and plundering settlers along the way. Characters emerge from and disappear into dark expanses—the film is masterfully shot in black and white—heightening its intense, chilling atmosphere. Funded by the Jeonju Digital Project.
