Pájaros volando
José (Diego Capusotto) lives in Buenos Aires with his father, with whom he doesn't have a good relationship. He's a musician, but supports himself with the earnings from his taxi company, and when he can, he plays with his band in pubs. He's nostalgic for the success he could never achieve again, like when he played with his cousin Miguel (Luis Luque). They had both achieved a certain notoriety with the song "Pájaros vuela" (Flying Birds) by their band "Dientes de Limón." After a long time without seeing each other, Miguel, who lives in Las Pircas, a small town in the mountains of Córdoba, comes to visit him and suggests that he leave the city and come with him.
Sea of Tranquility
The film was made by the Japanese visual artist Uemine Satoshi, and DVD released in 2005. This silent, personal movie bears and reflects the traces of the re-encounter between the director and his girlfriend, who had been hospitalized because of her deteriorating mental condition. Almost all scenes were shot in Hokkaido, the north island of Japan. Although nothing dramatic happens here, Sizuka no Umi builds a series of beautiful images that are raw, honest, and passionate. Lightly influenced by the East Coast experimental filmmakers like Jonas Mekas & kept in touch with some Nouvelle Vague feeling.
The Other Side of the Wind
Surrounded by fans and sceptics, grizzled director J.J. "Jake" Hannaford returns from years abroad in Europe to a changed Hollywood, where he attempts to make his innovative comeback film. This film was started in 1970 but never completed during Welles's lifetime.
Monsieur Verdoux
The film is about an unemployed banker, Henri Verdoux, and his sociopathic methods of attaining income. While being both loyal and competent in his work, Verdoux has been laid-off. To make money for his wife and child, he marries wealthy widows and then murders them. His crime spree eventually works against him when two particular widows break his normal routine.
