FEATURE ESSAY
The numbers do not fully absorb. As of this writing, 1,783 cultural heritage sites have been damaged or destroyed in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Among them, 46 have been completely erased. The Ministry of Culture counts 346 artists and 132 media workers dead. PEN Ukraine had already reached 102 cultural figures killed by the end of 2024, and the count has not stopped. These are not collateral casualties. They are the point.

Entre dos aguas: Tabernero y el cine de autor
En 1939 se estrena Prisioneros de la tierra , una de las películas emblemáticas del cine social argentino. En aquellos años, exceptuando Corrientes, el resto de las provincias del NEA eran territorios nacionales, categoría de administración política subordinada al Poder Ejecutivo que, como Dios, atendía en Buenos Aires. El equipo que trabajó en la película pasó a la historia, su director Mario Soffici , los actores Petrone y Magaña, los guionistas Darío Quiroga (hijo de Hora

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

A Perfect Gift: A Filmmaker’s Confession
Back in October, I was approached to produce a film about Alice Parker, the renowned teacher, and composer, at the time, I was only fifty-nine and a half, a child. My first move was to travel to The Berkshires to meet Alice at home, a 17th-century cottage nestled in the foothills, covered in snow, and by the rapid stream, she calls the Singing Brook.

Town & Country
Albemarle County is one of the most beautiful regions in the United States where town & country share common grounds and profound links to the historical, and often troublesome roots of this great nation of ours. Charlottesville lays at the center of it all. I've been here for ten years now, and its surrounding beauty still draws me to the fields and the streets every chance I get. Posdata: Cada uno goza como puede.

Traductores traidores!
Crecimos viendo películas extranjeras en su versión original, subtituladas. El doblaje nos pareció desde siempre una aberración, una canallada. Escuchar a Woody Allen doblado por una voz madrileña nos produjo desde siempre un profundo desaliento.

Pablo Tabernero in times of Mack The Knife
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
