Tequila 5

Love is like a tequila shot. Strong, hot as fire, covers our hearth, gets in touch with our feelings, makes us see everything beautiful and inspires us to do the impossible and prohibited for the love ones. Sex and Love in Monterrey, Mexico! Part of the new age Mexican cinema, Tequila 5 is surprisingly edgy! Four lonely and love hungry individuals carry out their ordinary lives (yet extraordinary in some ways) in the buzzing Monterrey, Mexico. An entertaining film with an end that will make you think

Mono

"Mono" is an experimental documentary about a generational renewal in the Argentine music scene. Twelve new gangs -Los Álamos, El mató a un policía motorizado, Bauer, Los Kahunas, Los Cuzcos, Brian Storming, Norma, Pablo Reche, Turpentine, Hacia Dos Veranos, Los Peyotes y McFly- and their audience, were filmed for six months in long sequence shots, during his recitals in different Argentine cities. No need for interviews, no words ... just the search for the ideal frame for each situation, strident music and the power of the live.

How silly are to grow up

Marcos (Gustavo Garzon), an existentially bored university lecturer, gets a grant to return to his birthplace to carry out biochemical research. There he meets old buddy Raul (Leo Masliah), who is now a priest. The story opens out to bring in their schooldays 20 years earlier, during Argentina’s politically active ’70s, when Raul was going out with Tamara (Victoria de Elizalde), who now lives in Paris with husband Paul (Ginger Poujoulet). The mature Tamara (Laura Melillo) returns to be with her sick mother, and Marcos unwittingly stumbles across some high-level politico-economic corruption on the part of the lab’s owners, led by Dr. Castembacher (Jean Pierre Reguerraz). In a piece in which perfs win out over plot, Garzon is satisfyingly nuanced as the disillusioned Marcos. Technically, pic’s restricted budget makes itself felt.

A Galician man's curiosity about his long-lost relatives who immigrated to Buenos Aires takes him on a surreal journey across times and space. Through travel, photographs, letters, and phone calls he explores the unpredictable ways in which immigration creates both bonds and distance between people and places. "Bs.As." received various awards including the Premio Foco Galicia (Tui, 2007).

Eyes Wide Open

In 1971, Uruguayan journalist and writer Eduardo Galeano published his landmark work Open Veins of Latin America, in which he comprehensively described the centuries of economic exploitation of Latin America. Almost 40 years later, filmmaker Gonzalo Arijon reevaluates the situation. His search takes him from the soybean plantations of the Brazilian Amazon to the tin mines of Bolivia to the deep jungles of Ecuador. Arijon’s politically committed film allows the local populations to speak for themselves, interspersing this with archival footage of speeches by Hugo Chávez, Lula da Silva and Evo Morales. Galeano himself also speaks—sometimes in poetic language— about how the rise of socialist governments in the early 21st century is benefitting Latin America, and what more can be done.

Lucio

There are plenty of anarchists in the world. Many have committed robbery or smuggling for their cause. Fewer have discussed strategies with Che Guevara or saved the skin of Eldridge Cleaver, the leader of the Black Panthers. There is only one who has done all that, and also brought to its knees the most powerful bank on the planet by forging travellers cheques, without missing a single day of work in his construction job. He is Lucio Urtubia, from a tiny village in Navarra in North of Spain. Lucio, 75, now lives in Paris, still raising anarchist hell.
