Mapas de Memoria: Diarios Cinematográficos

Program to be followed by discussion with Andres Di Tella and Cecilia Barrionuevo

Diaries, notebooks, sketches, working papers. Often unfinished, transitional or conditional, they serve as records, memory maps and impressions of inspiration. Renowned Argentinian filmmaker Andrés Di Tella explores note-taking and diaries not as a working method, but as a cinematic language and an art form in and of itself.

We are thrilled to welcome Andrés to share excerpts and walk us through his current work-in-progress, a project composed of a series of short and wide ranging film diaries shot on a cellphone.

Andrés has directed more than eleven feature films and is also a curator and film professor, regarded by many as one of the most significant figures in the history of Latin American documentary cinema. He was the founder of the Buenos Aires Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente (BAFICI), considered by many the principal film event in Latin America, which he directed in its first editions.

In collaboration with our friends at Cinema Tropical, this program is presented as a sidebar to Neighboring Scenes, their annual wide-ranging showcase of contemporary Latin American cinema with Film at Lincoln Center. Following the screening, Andrés will be joined in conversation with Cecilia Barrionuevo who, apart from serving as a programmer and organizer of Neighboring Scenes, is the Artistic Director of the Mar del Plata International Film Festival.

Diarios, cuadernos, bocetos, documentos de trabajo. A menudo incompletos, transitorios o condicionales, nos sirven como registros, mapas de memoria e impresiones de inspiración momentánea. El distinguido cineasta argentino Andrés Di Tella explora los cuadernos de apuntes y diarios no como un método de trabajo, sino como un lenguaje cinematográfico en estado potencial – una forma artística en sí.

Estamos encantados de recibir a Andrés Di Tella en UnionDocs, donde compartirá extractos y dará una charla sobre su proyecto en curso, obra compuesta por una serie de diarios cinematográficos breves, filmados con el celular.

Andrés ha dirigido más de once largometrajes y también es curador y profesor de cine, considerado por muchos como una de las figuras más importantes en la historia del cine documental latinoamericano. Fundó el Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente de Buenos Aires (BAFICI), considerado por muchos como el principal evento cinematográfico en América Latina, el cual dirigió en sus primeras ediciones.

En colaboración con nuestros amigos en Cinema Tropical, este programa se presenta como una pieza complementaria de Neighboring Scenes, su amplia serie anual de cine latinoamericano contemporáneo con Film at Lincoln Center. Después de la proyección, Andrés conversará con Cecilia Barrionuevo quien, además de ser programadora y organizadora de las Neighboring Scenes, es la directora artística del Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata.
