Cita con Perón

In the spring of 2015, with her 80 years of age, Eloísa prepares to participate in a new celebration commemorating October 17, 1945. 70 years have passed since that feat of the working people. Everything is fresh in Eloísa's memory, also that night in 1944 when she became a witness to a secret meeting in the mansion where she worked as a service staff. There was Colonel Juan Domingo Perón fighting a duel with the representatives of the economic power of the time who proposed to condition his actions. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the staff debated the current employment and political situation.

Green Green

The first gay-themed film produced in Cuba by the Institute of Cinema since Strawberry & Chocolate in 1993. The theme, however, is the same as in Guttiérerez and Tabìo's film: homophobia, machismo and fear. The fatal attraction between Alfredo, a doctor in the merchant navy, and handsome Carlos starts in a rundown Havana bar and ends at the sailor's house. But Alfredo's flirting and seducing of Carlos immediately turns into something complicated, ambiguous, dangerous. In a claustrophobic, tense atmosphere, their bodies are powerfully attracted, and the words, though violent, intensify the level of sensuality. Does each man kill the thing he loves? Evoking dreamlike atmospheres and characters, 80-year-old veteran director Enrique Pineda Barnet openly references Fassbinder's Querelle and Jean Genet. Quite controversial in its approach, the films demonstrates the milder attitude of Raul Castro's regime towards Cuba's LGBT Community.

La casa

A story by Mario Levrero and a mythical house in the Paraná Delta (Tigre - Argentina) conspire to shape this film, as two pieces that complement each other but without keeping a total synchronization. The voice-over becomes the common thread of a fantastic surreal story about strange events that occurred in an abandoned house. The action highlighted with the unique presence of insects, shadows, reflections and rain, proposes scenarios for the specific spaces in the story and invites you to recreate the characters and events narrated there.
