cineclub

The film club is a monthly gathering where we will present a carefully curated selection of films. Each session will include the screening and vegetarian snacks prepared by a guest artist, inspired by the film being shown. In October, we will watch Maia Gattás's film Viento del este (East Wind).

Viento del este by Maia Gattás | 2023 | 75 min

A glass, a sweater, and a fishing trophy are the objects Maia inherited from her father. With fragmented spaces and times, the film crosses Patagonian landscapes with the banks of the Río de la Plata, where the wind brings messages from Palestine.

Maia travels to the West Bank and, among the ruins of houses destroyed by the Israeli occupation and the waters of the Jordan River, finds a sign of destiny in her family name.

21:30h

Snacks by Victoria Eugenia Terán Pérez
