Thanks for the comments! It would be good if more men could see the film, though most of the "enforcers" are mothers. About camera work--filming in the villa on low budget was hard, so we did the best we could. More than deliberate decision it was what was possible (I don´t like shaky camera...

no worries, understood that it wasn´t directed at me, but I myself am not happy with the organization of the festival. See you there!

Thanks Redpossum for fighting to get a ticket! Sorry I didn´t organize the festival, LOL! See you all tomorrow, enjoy the English subtitles.

@Rich One The movie might answer your question, after the screening in the BAFICI I will be there to take questions.

@Bkentfc I invite you to see the film as the real passion--play without money--is in female football today in Argentina.

I suffer from insomnia and I bought pasionaria and valariana (at a pharmacy actually, but you can also get them at stores). Boiled water, put in a tablespoon of each, let it set 10 minutes. As strong as pills--slept for 9 hours.

This is a hard case because there were a lot of witnesses, maybe cameras, and also it was clear that she left it here. My insurance policy (argentine) ONLY covers violent robbery in which there must be a struggle or a lock picked, etc.

Insurance sometimes doesn´t cover robbery if you left things unattended, you might want to consider this before filing a police report that says you left it there.

@thorsten The film is actually funded by the INCAA (Argentine Film Institute) which in this case gave minimal funding (no salaries for me or the co-director, no funds for adverstising, etc), the other questions I would be happy to answer but it would take me a long time to write--maybe 5 pages...

I understand, the BAFICI is a great festival in terms of film but not the best organization. The theater is the Village Recoleta, located in the Recoleta Mall: Vicente López 2050, right next to the cemetery. http://www.villagecines.com/carteleras/cines-recoleta/

Hi, yes, this is my documentary (co-directed with Gabriel Balanovsky). Today we had a good showing even though there was a strike (almost full house!) which surprised us. Reception has been good, the female players get very emotional, and the film talks about how women can play hockey but not...

A few years ago I was the one who got their beers paid for by friends who knew I was down on my luck. Now we split or I treat. Money is a cycle, and friends should understand this. Also, people have different ideas of what a good thing to spend money on is and what is not--I would blow a lot of...

No, he was saying that the need for longer sentences and lynchings is to prevent this crime which attacks "la gente" and not "negros que matan entre sí". It was the most racist thing I heard in a while, as well as being incorrect. I don´t like even typing it because I don´t agree with it at all...

The other day, an ex-judge was on TV saying how bad crime was here, etc, but he himself admitted that there is less crime than in the US (crime in Argentina has gone down since the 2001-2003 crisis, not up), but in the US it is different since, IN HIS WORDS, it is black people killing black...

One of the first things I wrote about sexism in Argentina: http://filminginargentina.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/san-telmo-productions-reel/ wake up call: Hollywood is MUCH MORE SEXIST, just look at the credits of any major films. There are few female directors and most jobs are male only. In film...

I second Adriana, I worked with her 10 years ago.

I was at a winery filming a few years ago. I tried two wines, one was expensive as hell and one was mid-range. Everyone at the table, myself included, preferred the mid-range. You can also be biased by what you are used too. When I went to Chile I loved the wines but in part because it was...
