THE ACT IN QUESTION

Synopsis
One day, Miguel Quiroga discovers a book full of magic tricks both real and imagined, which would grant him the power of making literally anything and anyone disappear. His only fear is that someone would find and widely publish another copy of the book, his life’s sourcebook and inspiration.

Our take
A visually audacious work that captures the link between cinema and vaudeville, Alejandro Agresti’s imaginative tale of a master conjurer is full of spellbinding magic tricks. Firmly rooted in Argentinian history, this quest for creative originality challenges the very purpose of artmaking itself.
