Southern Lights: Films by Pablo Marín

Celebrate the start of SF Cinematheque's Fall season and the arrival of Pablo at 6:30pm with complimentary refreshments! Films will screen at 7:30pm. A prominent figure in the burgeoning filmmaking scene of Argentina, Pablo Marín appears in person from Buenos Aires to present a screening of his personal, lyrical Super-8 films, which—in the traditions of Narcisa Hirsch, Claudio Caldini and Marie Louise Alemann—bring “a structural/formal concern into the realm of autobiographical/intimate cinema” and demonstrate a dazzling proficiency at in-camera composition and superimposition. Films to screen include RESISTFILM, a complex medley of elaborate superimposed homages to early avant-garde landmarks and wild landscapes of the 21st Century; DENKBILDER, an international travelogue fusing Buenos Aires and Berlin, and other travelogues DIARIO COLORADO, CARTA AUSTRAL (“a dark map of southern introspection”); 1640, “a lightning landscape”; and other films including XOXO, 4×4 and the complete UNTITLED TRILOGY.
