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 Horacio) y Petit de Murat, pero ¿qué tanto conocemos de la historia de su director de fotografía? Artífice técnico, casi ignorado, del éxito que cosechó Prisioneros de la tierra.  Ver más

Before becoming a distinguished cinematographer in Argentina during the 1940s, Peter Paul Weinschenk, as a German exile in Barcelona, produced some of the most remarkable documentary images of the Spanish Civil War. 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 in the footage used in the opening sequence of Ken Loach's Land & Liberty and in the credits of Fury Over Spain which premiered in New York in 1937. I also learned that Weinschenk was embedded with Buenaventura Durruti during the Aragon campaign of the Aguiluchos de las FAI in 1936 and register some of the most remarkable images on film during of the of Spanish Civil War. But this is just a chapter on a path of discovery. Weinschenk had a previous life in Berlin during the Weimar Republic and a successful career as a cinematographer in Buenos Aires during the 1940s. Tabernero (Working Title), is scheduled to premiere in Buenos Aires on November 26th.

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 graves.Entre los ausentes más notorios está el director de fotografía Pablo Tabernero,nacido Peter Paul Weinschenk en Berlín, hace 110 años, cuya lente en blanco y negro, proveniente de lo más puro de la cinematografía de Weimar, marcó una etapa única en la historia de nuestra pantalla. EduardoMontes-Bradley, cineasta argentino radicado hace años en EE.UU., acaba de terminar la película “Buscando a Tabernero”, que será una de las atracciones del Festival de Mar del Plata 2020 (si la pandemia lo permite). La película, una coproducción entre Heritage Film Project de EE.UU., Soy Cine de la Argentina, y el apoyo del Incaa, fue anunciada el año pasado en Mar del Plata cuando se entregó por primera vez el Premio Tabernero, que ganó el hijo de José Hermo, uno de los discípulos del maestro.

por Mercedes Álvarez ¿Qué significa ser un maestro? ¿Qué significa poder enseñar? ¿Por qué algunas personas están capacitadas para transmitir y otras no? ¿Por qué algunos dejan su marca, señalan el trazado de un camino, logran despertar en otros la pasión? La capacidad de enseñar es un misterio, como misteriosa es la capacidad de nacer con un talento. Con un talento particular para la fotografía nació en 1910 Paul Weinschenck. Quien luego fuera conocido en Argentina como el director de fotografia Pablo Tabernero (después de castellanizar su nombre) puede no resultar un desconocido para aquellos que tengan relación con el mundo del cine, y sin embargo ser un descubrimiento para otros más alejados de este arte. Eduardo Montes-Bradley, cineasta argentino radicado en Estados Unidos, contribuye en su última película a sacar a Pablo Tabernero del reino de las sombras, de una vez y esperamos que para siempre. “Searching 4 Tabernero” es un recorrido muy breve por la vida del fotógrafo alemán, quien vivió entre exilios, por culpa de la gripe española primero -y en curiosa coincidencia con los tiempos que corren-, luego por culpa del nazismo, más tarde de Franco, más tarde de Onganía.

It was in May of 2014 when I went to visit my friend John Herr at his home in Charlottesville. We had started to record some of his earliest memories for a documentary film about life and science, a documentary film that unfortunately was cut short when he unexpectedly died of a massive heart attack. I recently went looking for some of the images collected over moths and months of working together, and that's when I came across this extraordinary moment when John recalls the sound of the voice of his mother. I miss John dearly.

El jueves 2 de julio, a las 6:00pm (New York), vamos a compartir algunos datos de interés relativos a la etapa de formación del reconocido director de fotografía Pablo Tabernero. La ponencia, transmitida vis Live on Facebook, tiene por objeto abordar las etapas previas al arrivo de Tabernero a Buenos Aires en octubre de 1937.

In the editing at Heritage Film Project, we're constantly updating our archives looking for vintage images that would assist us in recreating certain particular situations in our current productions. As I was personally getting involved y a search for shots of zoos in the late 50s and 60s, I came across this horrendous scene of two elephants chained together. I'm old enough to have been at one of those zoos, but unaware of animal cruelty I felt safe knowing the pachyderm would not harm me. Apparently, in order for me to be safe, I needed beast to be restrained, chained, and enslaved. It didn't happen four hundred years ago, not even one hundred years ago, it happened during my lifetime. Looking at these images leads me to believe that we're indeed changing, moving forward in small steps. There are no more elephants in chains in America. Perhaps one day we could be rid of many other constraints, the chains that bound us to prejudice, racism, and many other forms of the same malady. Looking at these elephants is hard to believe that at one point in my life, perhaps when I was just six years old, I thought that this was alright, that my security depended on their submission.

Just a reminder of the extraordinary beauty of our surroundings! 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.

Pablo Tabernero arrives in Berlin in time for the premiere of "Metropolis", a film that comes to reaffirm the will of the public in times of political turmoil and unrest. A few months later he joined as an apprentice to Marie Böhm at Becker & Maass. Böhm was a famed and distinguished photographer known for her portraits of dancers and movie stars from all over Europe. According to his descendants, Tabernero might have participated as a camera assistant during a photoshoot with Marlene Dietrich. The building that Becker & Maass occupied on no longer exists, it was either destroyed by the air raids during WWII or later by the city planners of East Berlin. The summer of 1927 and the experience of working with Marie Böhm at Becker & Maass, reaffirmed Tabernero’s interest in photography, and a few months enter the prestigious Lette-Verein in Viktoria Platz. Tabernero graduated two years later as an “Assistant Photographer”. He was now ready to enter the booming German film industry.

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.
