REDISCOVERING ARGENTINE SILENT CINEMA VOL. II: 1920’s
This film contains images produced in Argentina in 1920’s. It compiles archive stuff and documentary takes that were shot in 35mm during that decade in Buenos Aires and other Argentine locations.
Most of this stuff has not been screened in public for many years and it has
an important documental and filmic value. Originally these movies were
exhibited along with live music. In this program the sound will come from a
live music performance oriented to experimental drone and abstract noise.
The compilation includes the following short shootings:
Noticiero cinematográfico “Actualidades Max Glücksmann” (1925-27)
“Sociedad Rural Argentina” –fragment-, Arata-Pardo (1925)
“Buenos Aires”, posibly de Federico Valle, 1924-5
“A los toros”, Max Glücksmann 1928
“Diario La Lacion” Federico Valle 1925
