Summary:
La libertad: Real-time sociological documentary about a day in the life of a woodcutter who spends most of his time working alone in the Argentinian countryside. Los muertos: A 54-year-old man is released from prison in Corrientes, Argentina, and decides to canoe through the jungle to find his grown daughter. The journey becomes a promordial adventure, filled with solitude and silence. Fantasma: The film follows Argentino Vargas as he loses himself in the empty lobby, hallways, elevators, offices, and screening rooms of the Buenos Aires movie theater while he awaits a screening of Alonso's own "Los muertos", which Vargas himself starred in. The film is a statement about the power of images, on their own, to create and sustain atmosphere, feeling, anxiety, and wonder.
