XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
Documentary about the happening of the same name that took place at the Coliseo theater in Buenos Aires, on October 3, 1967, on the night of the premiere of Blow Up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966). Marabunta, a ceremony in collective anthropophagy involving a six-meter skeleton completely covered in fruit and food, inside of which were live doves and parrots painted with phosphorescent colors that flew out as people were eating.
Biografía del director
Narcisa Hirsch
“The freedom of working with very little money is the freedom from having to sell, it is the freedom of working at home and by hand, without big crews or sets. Nor any time constraints. One shot is taken per day, or one per year. Each one chooses their time and space. For that reason, and for everything else, experimental film is a subversive art, more so than documentary or political cinema. More subversive than intellectual or conceptual cinema. Which is why so few go into it, and even fewer stay”. Narcisa Hirsch
