As part of our journey, we’re sitting down with filmmakers all over the world and talking about work, life and our shared love of telling stories. In Buenos Aires, we spoke with Benjamin Ávila, an Argentinian writer-director, whose first narrative feature premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this past Spring and will be screening at the Toronto Film Festival in a couple weeks. This is a two-minute excerpt from our fascinating forty-five minute conversation with this intense, articulate man.Here is the official trailer for Benjamin’s film “Infancia Clandestina” which opens in South America in just a few weeks. The film tells the autobiographical story of his own youth during the turbulent 1970’s in Argentina. If it’s half as interesting as he is, you should seek out this movie.
Nice. Short but with an impact. Like a shot of espresso.
I am looking forward to meeting more filmmakers with you as you travel around the world on this extraordinary adventure.
More filmmakers and more HOUSE HUNTING!!!
