This correspondence, or exchange of letters and video diaries between acclaimed filmmakers Jonas Mekas and José Luis Guerin is extremely potent, there’s sorcery at play in the mixture of the two. Together they’re light and dark. Mekas knows life’s joys, and is always a participant in what he films, Guerín is a detached observer, cold, present only as a black mote, reflected in the eye of one of his subjects. Guerín shoots in black and white and strives for formalism, Mekas loves hazard, loves his chaotic hand-held colour camera. Jonas Mekas felt that his images were inferior to those of Guerín, but a picture of his son Sebastian devouring a pickle, followed by Jonas on the deli sausage and wine, and then a cheeky close up of Goethe’s Faust; which of them Faust and which Mephistopheles? That one shot set me thinking about the nature of art and the privilege of artists, and could be interpreted in any one of several fruitful ways.Read More »

It was the 1990s in Río Tercero, a small town in the Argentine province of Córdoba. At the Garayalde family home, 900 meters from the river and 300 meters from a military factory, the children play with their new toy: a video camera purchased to register los recuerdos. What is not yet known, however, is that family memories will intertwine with one of the most lurid episodes in the country’s recent history and will lie at the heart of a film which delicately acknowledges that images outlive bodies.Read More »

I almost did not know her, because for me she always has lived outside. The missing grandmother who appeared from time to time at the airport and called the day of my birthday. We did not talk too much but felt close, like a mountain you don’t have to climb to know is there. Then I also left the country, but to a different place and never asked her how or why she immigrate? At the age of ninety-one in a town of New Jersey, she receives me. This is the story of our last meeting.Read More »
