Since Mostra FIRE!! programmed Plan B <\/i>in 2010, Marco Berger has not only become our favourite director with his successive films (Ausente, Mariposa<\/i>, Hawaii<\/i>, Taekwondo<\/i>, El cazador<\/i>, Un rubio<\/i>, or Los agitadores<\/i>), but the festival has also presented Argentina’s excellent LGBTQ+ cinema production year after year. In particular, we’ve seen powerful films directed by women, from Lucrecia Martel’s La Ci\u00e9naga<\/i> to Cecilia del Valle’s Canela<\/i>, as well as Liliana Paolinelli’s Lengua materna <\/i>and Margen de error<\/i>, In\u00e9s Mar\u00eda Barrionuevo’s Atl\u00e1ntida<\/i>, and Clarissa Navas’ Hoy partido a las tres<\/i>. His colleagues have also stood out with Papu Curotto’s Esteros<\/i>, Mariano Biasin’s Sublime<\/i>, Manuel Abramovich’s Pornomelancol\u00eda<\/i>, Carlos Castro’s Regreso a Coronel Vallejos<\/i>, and Javier van de Couter’s Mia<\/i>. We’ve been meaning to programme \u201cThe gaze of\u2026\u201d to Argentine cinema for a while, and now that the opportunity has arrived, we are happy to start by presenting Van de Couter’s latest work, a dazzling film: Tesis sobre una domesticaci\u00f3n<\/i>, based on the novel of the same name by Camila Sosa Villada and starring her. Of course, Berger’s new film, Los amantes astronautas<\/i>, will also be on show. We also wanted to give Lucas Santa Ana a special spot with two of his films: 300 Cartas<\/i> and Luces Azules<\/i>. And, as the icing on the cake, director Mariana Wainstein will astound us with Linda<\/i>, her explosive debut feature, a sort of Argentinian Casa en flames<\/i>, where an attractive housemaid blows up the fragile balance of a wealthy, worldly Buenos Aires family. <\/p>\n
