A hug movie, for the biggest storyteller in Latin America.

In 1997 the Argentine filmmaker Fernando Birri returned to his home country to film a documentary on the 30th anniversary of the death of Che Guevara and the relevance of utopias at that time. Carmen Guarini decided to record those moments. A rough edit of this film was hidden away on a fragile VHS tape for twenty years. Today, these images come to life and shed some light on the life of this Latin American poet and master filmmaker, who, at the age of 92, still refused to give up on his own utopias.

A detailed investigation into the political and economic interests that, since the beginning of the 20th century, have pulled the strings of the arms trade, hidden in the shadows, feeding the shameful corruption of politicians and government officials and promoting a state of permanent war throughout the world, while they cynically asked for a lasting and universal peace.

Documentary that traces the history of the 20th century through the story of Rogelio García Lupo, Argentine investigative journalist and historian co-founder of the Cuban news agency Prensa Latina along with Gabriel García Márquez, Rodolfo Walsh and Jorge Masetti, and also of the weekly newspaper of the CGT of the Argentines in 1968. We access the personal archive of García Lupo while he was visiting it for the last time at the age of 82, after having decided to hand it over to the National Library for future researchers to consult.

A sport like football is primarily a passionate celebration, but one that is so massive (economically, politically and socially) that it, of course, also brings many problems. Olallo Rubio's third documentary (and fourth film in total), Ilusión Nacional, is a take on how the world's most popular sport relates to Mexican society and politics.

Joan Manuel Serrat fled to Mexico when Franco ordered his persecution. In Argentina and Chile, his commitment against military regimes is still remembered. Joaquín Sabina arrived later. His poetry bewitched the audience. In Argentina, he is a tango singer as much as a rocker; in Mexico, the mariachis sing their songs. The former is a symbol, a venerated figure; the latter is a “cuate,” as they say in Mexico, a buddy with whom you can always count.

Documentary film about soccer and the passion it unleashes in a country qualifying for a world cup. During eight years of following the Chilean national team, the features and nuances that make up our society are reflected in both defeat and victory, trying to answer what mystery this sport has that makes it the most popular in the world.

Documentary about the independence and history of Latin America.

The film deals with the process of globalization based on the thought of geographer Milton Santos, who through his ideas and practices, inspires the debate about Brazilian society and the construction of a new world. Santos discusses his views on the importance of respecting difference and his belief that an alternative globalisation model could wholly enfranchise all citizens of the world. An illustrious presence in 20th century social sciences, the man dubbed as ‘geography’s philosopher’ eloquently elucidates a developing world perspective on the global age.

What does Che Guevara"s mythic presence represent to people at the turn of the century, and how do people define their concept of utopia?

Narrated [not only] with puppets, a dramatic vision of Latin America throughout the 20th century with its constant ferment of dictatorships, hunger, corruption, civil wars, heroic episodes and spilled blood.

A concert program about the current development of the free Latin American music presented by a wide range of artists, performers and groups from around the countries of the continent.
