Buenos Aires Free Party
director: Homero Cirelli
original title: Buenos Aires Free Party
country: Argentina
year: 2014
running time: 74 min.
synopsis
Banal scenes from the preparations for and during the course of a freetechno party regularly alternate with a frenetic sequences of events from Argentine history to produce a hypnotic and frightening trip. On the one hand is the aesthetic of the music video and its ability to capture the state of entropy across time by using audiovisual repetition and playing with pacing, color and brightness. On the other hand is an effect-free record of real life, specifically the freetechno subculture, whose non-aggressive nature contrasts with the destruction and chaos that rule the surrounding world.DETAIL:
The monotonous rhythm of flying over Buenos Aires is broken by a flash of fear: one frame of an attacking monster.
biography
The work of Argentine filmmaker Homero Cirelli (1961) straddles the line between genres and between physical and mental subjects. This ambivalence forms the basic foundation for films such as Berlin (2004), Porno (2006), Hadas y duendes (2009) Yoga (2010), Uritorco (2011) and Sado (2012). Cirelli’s aim is to intuitively explore the mechanisms of individual and collective consciousness.more about film
