Pablo Tabernero: La Historia Iluminada
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

For nearly two years I followed in his footsteps, first to Berlin, then to Mainz, Barcelona, New York, and Buenos Aires. One of the most extraordinary woah! moments during the making of this film was precisely identifying Pablo as the filmmaker behind the camera i

En busca de un maestro de la iluminación: Pablo Tabernero
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
