When Borges declared 'I'm fed up with him' about his own persona, he didn't imagine it would become my documentary title. 25 years later, 'Harto the Borges' remains relevant—a polyphonic portrait using multiple voices that resist synthesis, mirroring Borges's own literary techniques. My reflections on the methodology and complete transcription now available on Academia.edu to mark the anniversary.

In our current moment of global migration and cultural displacement, Lisboa offers a nuanced portrait of what it means to build a life across borders. Rather than presenting immigration as either triumph or tragedy, the film shows it as an ongoing process of adaptation, loss, discovery, and creative transformation.

Two decades have passed since the premiere of Testigo del Siglo at the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival, where the memoirs of Ismael Viñas—a man who shaped Argentina’s intellectual and political landscape—first flickered on screen. Viñas, the founder of Contorno magazine, a collaborator of Arturo Frondizi, and the creator of the Movimiento de Liberación Nacional (MLN), left Argentina in 1976, never to return.

Perhaps, we have to stop swimming and let the current take us to safe harbor, or to a sandy beach somewhere. Come to think of it, it was in fact Aronovich who explained to me once how Weinschenk himself used to talk of shades of gray in film as beaches. And here I go again! drifting in free association when I should be getting ready to pick my daughter from school and talk about what we're going to do once we move to Madrid.

This is my tribute to Humberto Calzada: Cuban, American, painter, friend, brother in all the ways that matter. A man who understood that sometimes the only way to go home is to create it, brush stroke by brush stroke, until the canvas holds everything you remember about love.

El Eternauta signals something new for Argentine cinema. For the first time, we are seeing a production that stands on its own without imitating the tropes of international (especially American) storytelling. It’s not about achieving universality through abstraction—it’s about being unapologetically Argentine, and in doing so, achieving something truly universal.

Lucy Ann Sutton had a long line of descendants, and my children stand at the very end of that line.

Born in Berlin in 1910, Weinschenk came of age in a Europe already marked by instability. Trained in photography and immersed in the avant-garde circles of the Weimar Republic, his early work reflects a moment when cinema, art, and politics were deeply intertwined. That trajectory was abruptly interrupted in 1933, when new racial laws forced him out of academic life and into exile.

La primera vez que escuché hablar sobre la relación entre los sistemas de zonas de Ansel Adams y la variante de playas de Pablo Tabernero, fue durante una de las charlas que sostuve con Ricardo Aronovich durante mi visita a su enclave normando. Aronovich estimaba que aquella relación era fortuita, y que ambas concepciones eran contemporáneas. Así consta en Buscando a Tabernero, documental que cuenta con don Ricardo como uno de los primeros discípulos de Pablo Tabernero con qu

Quienes alguna vez, a fuerza de ver y rever cierto cine argentino que nos encandila, reconocimos la firma de Pablo Tabernero como director de fotografía de algunas películas bastante prodigiosas y originales en el cine vernáculo, no sabíamos todo el misterio que había detrás de su nombre. Puede ser que lo hayamos intuido, sin embargo, porque nadie que pudiese crear esos espejismos, esos juegos de luces y sombras, podría haber sido una persona sin aventuras, sin experiencias d

por Marcelo Zapata Diálogo con el cineasta Eduardo Montes-Bradley , que terminó un documental sobre su obra. Fue fotógrafo de films paradigmáticos, como "Prisioneros de la tierra" de Mario Soffici y "La Quintrala" de Hugo del Carril. La injusticia de las omisiones, o de la memoria corta, suele dañar la escritura de la historia del cine argentino. Y, si se trata ya no de intérpretes o de directores sino de artistas de los rubros llamados “técnicos”, esas faltas son aun más g

Evita, the documentary, unveils the ambiguous nature of the young actress that ruled -with iron fist- the lives of millions.

Marcelo Zapata dedicates his column in Ambito Financiero, the Finantial Times or WSJ of Buenos Aires, to inquire about the life of Pablo Tabernero and the upcoming premier of the documentary film about "Searching 4-TAbernero", a partial biography.

There is a first exile in the life of Pablo Tabernero which could probably be applied to the decade he spent away from his mother in Berlin. He left during the pandemic of the Spanish Flew and the civil unrest of the November uprisings of 1919, and he will only return in 1927 to enroll a student at the Lette-Verein School of design. It was there that he was taught basic instruction in the art of photography. In the 1940s Pablo Tabernero will be distinguished as one of the fou

Ayer murió Sérgio Sant'Anna, al que conocí en virtud de la amistad que el tenía con Julia Tomasini. Por entonces Sant'Anna era uno de los nombres en consideración para continuar con los documentales sobre escritores brasileros que comenzó con el rodaje de una biografía parcial sobre Adriana Lisboa en Denver, en el invierno del 2012. La idea era por demás atractiva, Sant'Anna encarnaba un mito viviente, una suerte de oráculo.
