From the DAC Foundation we have carried out the Argentine Cinema Goes to School program since 2014, bringing national cinema to young people who are pursuing their secondary education throughout the country. The work with the CEPT (rural educational establishments in the province of Buenos Aires) arose from getting to know them within the framework of our activity, and that is how we set out to make this film to publicize this peculiar type of teaching and the exchange that occurred. with our program.

Tras un Manto de Neblinas

The documentary tells the first-person story of what seven veterans experienced during the Malvinas War through their childhood and adolescence, sharing life in a town in the interior of Córdoba. The military service, the landing, the waiting, the cold, the hunger, the fear, the battles, and the return to their village. "I want them to know about my war," says Jorge, taking off his beret as a sign of respect for those who lost their lives in the Malvinas. Today, more than 40 years after the war, they recount what those 74 days were like that marked their lives forever.

When We Meet

“We met at the start of winter. Now it is April. To start this letter, we want to show you the city that we’ve got to know and filmed together.” In this way begins the film that was collectively created by a group of young migrants to tell the story and experiences of six people who migrated to Barcelona a long time ago. The group of filmmakers invite us on a journey which is, at the same time, exterior, poetic and introspective, through the city, the trees and the moon. A celebration of cinema and the possibility to share life and make the world a bigger place.

Veranada

“Veranada” (summer pasture) opens a small window into the fascinating way of life of the Malargüe herders. The film moves through the eyes of Don Arturo, a gaucho who travels on his horse around the Argentina Andes Mountains in search of greener grasslands to feed his goats and sheep. In this remote community, herders depend on the one necessary resource to survive: water nourishes the plants in the meadows which feed the herds. This story is about Don Arturo’s tenacious yet hopeful will to survive amidst a world affected by climate change, severe drought.

Groundswell

In the 1990s, in the city of Mar del Plata, about thirty women disappeared and were murdered, most of them sex workers. A serial killer that was given the name of “El Loco de la Ruta” was blamed for these crimes. Every investigation that had to do with these crimes was half-hearted and defective; the stigmatization of the victims was much more intense than any aim at justice. In a decade pierced by impunity and social discontent, the women, most of them still unorganized, were the only ones to raise their voices and take the cold city streets reclaiming justice.

Hitler's Putsch: The Birth of the Nazi Party

The night of November 8, 1923, is arguably the most significant and transformative in the history of the twentieth century. A localised uprising in the Bavarian capital of Munich, led by a small man with a toothbrush moustache and a poisonous yet compelling grandiloquence, would have repercussions that would lead to the political shackling of an entire nation, the most abhorrent crimes of the century and a world war. You might say, Adolf Hitler came of age amid the smell of sweat and sawdust of a Munich beer hall. In the political chaos of 1923, he was a local irritant, gaining popularity among workers and soldiers, the ethos of his Nazi Party spreading like a virus. His first attempt at attaining true power came with an attempted putsch on the already separatist government of Bavaria, which left him imprisoned.

Disappearing World of the Capercaillie

At Arolla Film, we strive to positively motivate people to protect wildlife through our work. Sometimes, however, the devastation of nature is so extensive and the changes so rapid that more radical measures are needed to stop them. This is the case with the capercaillie, a species closely linked to natural mountain forests. We could no longer stand by and watch as dozens of locations where the capercaillie was found until recently disappeared. That is why we decided to make a short video that uses the example of the Low Tatras to show the dramatic changes that have taken place over the last ten years. The animation is made from real satellite images, and the crosses with the names of the locations are actually extinct leks. The video is part of an initiative to save the natural habitat of the capercaillie.

Born in the UK to Jamaican parents, Pat left the racism of the UK as soon as he could, although he ‘stupidly’ found his way to Australia with its own racism issues. Father to four children from different mothers with varying ethnic backgrounds, Pat’s children all identify differently and discuss racism and where identity comes from.
