NEW DIRECTORS/NEW FILMS 2022 (April 20-May 1, 2022)

[Chris Knipp]

ALBUM OF THE YOUTH/ALBUM PARA LA JUVENTUD (Malena Solarz 2021)

A series of scenes involving university students in the summer between exams and studies. Several of them have creative aspirations: one, as a writer, the other, as a composer. The filmmaker achieves a seamless, relaxed naturalism. Unfortunately these vérité sequences are pretty uninteresting. The project reflects the complacency of white, middle-class Argentinians. But there has been much festival attention. This is part of a larger project.
