Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota - Documental CMTV

First documentary about the legendary Argentine band Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, made by Alejandra Ceriani and Rocambole (Ricardo Cohen). It describes what the recitals of Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota were like in their first presentations in La Plata. There are two recitals and everything that happens inside, in the locker rooms, with the public. The medium-length film, which dates back to the late 80s, was made with the help of the Audiovisual Experimental Workshop of the Faculty of Fine Arts, a team that was trying to reopen the film career at the National University of La Plata.

With a scuba suit and a GoPro in hand, a 65-year-old shoe store owner is determined to clean up Malta’s seas, one piece of rubbish at a time.

As the filmmaker pursues a creative career, she goes looking for others in similar positions to explore what her decision entails. Mixing experimental art and documentary film, the work explores the real and imaginary boundaries of creativity.

“My mother laughs prelude” is a performance from the book that Chantal made about her mother. In 2013, Akerman’s mother was dying. She flew back from New York to Brussels to care for her, and between dressing her, feeding her and putting her to bed, she wrote. She wrote about her childhood, the escape her mother made from Auschwitz but didn’t talk about, the difficulty of loving her girlfriend, C., her fear of what she would do when her mother did die. Among these imperfectly perfect fragments of writing about her life, she placed stills from her films. "My Mother Laughs" is both the distillation of the themes Akerman pursued throughout her creative life, and a version of the simplest and most complicated love story of all: that between a mother and a daughter.

In Caribou in the Archive, rustic VHS home video of a Cree woman hunting caribou in the 1990s is combined with NFB archival film footage of northern Manitoba from the 1950s. In this experimental film, the difference between homemade video and official historical record is considered. Northern Indigenous women hunting is at the heart of this personal found footage film in which the filmmaker describes the enigmatic events that led to saving an important piece of family history from being lost forever.
