Un acercamiento a «Prescindible», de Ignacio Ricchetti.
By Nicolás Sandrini.

Tan sencillo en su fuga como así complejo en el fuera de campo, el encuadre de “Prescindible” nos invita a recordar a aquellos primeros cortos de los hermanos Lumiére, «obreros saliendo de una fábrica». Pero esta vez, 120 años más tarde, la fábula da lugar a expresar la renuncia del obrero como resistencia a la explotación.

Podemos decir que desde una perspectiva marxista, encierra una dialéctica de clases entre opresor y oprimido, en la que el punto de clausura se expresa con la sentencia “let’s work», o, en criollo, “a laburar». El individuo pierde identidad y es pieza defectuosa, desechada o descartable, reemplazada cual engranaje para retomar con urgencia la marcha de la maquinaria capitalista…

Fascinating and fleeting, the magic of cinema as a fairground attraction

An approach to "Two Foxholes", by Kang Le.
By Nicolás Sandrini.

"Two Foxholes" is a collage that raises its voice as resistance to historical tragedies, those past and still latent, those present and those we can still avoid.

The fleeting trace of countless glances reminds us of our ephemeral passage, which leaves barely a trace in the face of those terrible events we have been going through for as long as we can remember and even before we understood their imperious necessity.

As its name invites us to think: "two trenches", the proposal requires us to choose a side between winners or losers, yes, it is inevitable; but it is also irrefutable the power and strength of the images, as they allow us to enable a truce at least in our own reflection, reserved to the space generated by the cinema under the shelter of a magical beam of light in the complicity conceived by the screen and our gaze.

Questioning convention through the provocation of cinematographic language.

"Foquito" is a trial and error essay on things that are supposed to be insignificant in everyday life. In a first reading and in a reverse sense, trying to commit suicide is perhaps as dangerous as changing a light bulb. But the concept sheds more light on the matter.

Expectation and betrayal are pillars in a narrative game that summons the spectator as an active witness, assuming a place that includes him in the story as a third character who observes the sequence and anticipates the expected outcome.

7SIFF llega al Multiplex Belgrano

Cada año buscamos fortalecer el marco del festival. Así como pasamos de exhibir únicamente en youtube al Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, este año damos otro paso en busca de nuestro horizonte. 7SIFF llega al cine Multiplex, donde se proyectarán todas las películas de la 4ta edición y además tendrá lugar la ceremonia de premiación.

7SIFF tal vez no sea un festival (o no lo sea únicamente), tal vez sea una convención de cineastas que se juntan a compartir su creatividad e ingenio para resolver una película de 7 segundos. Es por eso que este año apuntamos a un encuentro con charlas, talleres y puntos de networking. Afianzando, de esta forma, nuestra misión de incentivar la producción audiovisual de cineastas emergentes.

Gracias a Sonia Brussino, Nicolás Ojeda y todo el equipo de Cines Multiplex por confiar en 7SIFF, y recibir este evento que estamos seguros que será el primero de muchos en conjuntos.

9:16 Fest is a space that invites filmmakers to step out of their comfort zone, to experiment with the limits of filming, the entire vertical format.
Filming in 9:16 aspect ratio means changing the usual way we are used to seeing: rethinking the composition of the image, the cuts and transitions we apply in editing, looking for creative ways to group actors and technical equipment, experimenting with scenarios and camera optics. We launch the challenge to anyone who wants to participate, to shoot short films in vertical. You can apply to this call with short films from one minute to half an hour, films made in TikTok, Instagram reels, YouTube Shorts, short films filmed with cell phone, the challenge is to make a creative story with the tools you have at hand.

We screened all the films, both those in competition and those of the parallel exhibitions.
