La película infinita

Directed by Leandro Listorti
Argentina, 2018
Documentary

A parallel film history crafted from the fragmented remains of never-completed Argentine feature films. Stories and images that were once considered unsuccessful now take on a new meaning. Inert images and sounds never heard before are finally opened up for fresh discovery.

Our take

Leandro Listorti’s debut is a sublime experiment: a film resurrecting cinematic ghosts, injecting life into projects that never saw the light. Made out of unfinished Argentinian movies, this entrancing patchwork of fragmented narratives is an ode to the infinite possibilities of storytelling.
