    2021-2030ArgentinaComedyGonzalo García Pelayo

    Iván is a Spanish film producer who travels to Argentina with a single mission: to meet Carmen Trevilla, a cult director who is in the creative process of her new “video.” From minute zero, he feels captivated by her overwhelming and disconcerting presence. Although he still does not know if he is going to produce it – since he thinks that his cinema will not be well received by current European sensibilities – Iván takes advantage of every moment with Carmen to record, with his cell phone in his hand and an endless smile on his face, every adventure they embark on.Read More »

    Revolution! In 1915 the Russian artist Malevich declared a Black Square on a White Background an icon of his times and thus founded a new form of art, liberated from objects – Suprematism. Supported by the Bolsheviks at first, his ‘formalistic’ art was soon considered counterrevolutionary. 50 years later, in 1989, the first comprehensive Malevich retrospective outside Russia was held in Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum. It is here that Barrie Gavin outlines the artist’s creative phases and his life story. In doing so, he discovers the most diverse ‘isms’ of the 20th century and one of the most significant pioneers of abstract art.Read More »
