Artistic Differences —produced by UnionDocs and hosted by Cíntia Gil—is our cineclub that gathers online and in person on the first Saturday of every month! Each month, we invite you to experience a film that demands deeper discussion. Think Saturday morning cartoons, but instead, it’s visionary documentary cinema from around the world, curated by the brilliant Cíntia Gil!

For April, we’re honored to present Undefined Things by María Aparicio, a meticulous and deeply reflective meditation on cinema itself. Set in Córdoba, Argentina, this film follows Eva, a film editor carefully assembling a documentary—not exactly about blindness, as she says, but about blind people and their distinctiveness beyond their condition.

We couldn’t agree more with Diego Semerene in Slant, when he wrote –

“Eva refuses to partake in that other kind of blindness—that of indifference to the political, and to the poetic. It’s difficult to remember a recent film this devoted to restoring the profundity of cinema—not as a product, but as a process—with such subtlety, respect, and elegance.”

Undefined Things reaffirms cinema as an art form of depth and deliberation, where every cut and rhythm carries meaning. Through Eva’s devotion to her craft, Aparicio’s film reminds us that cinema isn’t just a product—it’s a way of seeing, a way of living, and a way of resisting indifference.

There are two ways to join:

In-person: Visit our Ridgewood space! Grab a ticket to save your spot. UNDO Members can attend for free with their Member Coupon Code at checkout.

Following our screening, we’ll gather reflections, questions, and insights to create a longform podcast interview with María Aparicio—a collective exploration of the film’s themes and creative process. Want to be part of the conversation? Join the club and add your voice to the mix!
