El Extraordinario Cine Argentino
The work is an encounter with the magical lands of the province of Salta, in northern Argentina, and is motivated by the construction of a new myth to add to the long list of pre-existing tales from the region. The colossal screen is built of wood. It looks like a cultural structure from the past. The cinema is open free of charge for a whole month, every night showing independent films made available by filmmakers from all over Argentina through a website created for the occasion. After a month of screenings and events (radio broadcasts, artistic workshops, parties), the cinema was dismantled. Today, only a memory remains in people's minds. Hand drawings have been presents through the whole development of the project like a tool to grasp a dream and to bring it down to earth.
