While at our venue, be mindful to remain at 1.5 meter distance from other people. We trust all to be responsible with their health and hygiene check.

FOLLOW THE LIGHTS

Follow the light is a compilation of ideas that explore the raw materials of film and video: light and sound. These works make us redirect our gaze, focus. They dazzle us like hares running towards the light. We look for that attempt at form, that fragment of something diffuse that is lost in the dark, that dissolves in the texture and leaves us senseless. Through various techniques, specific to each author, the search materializes in approaches to the unknown, to an internal world. Like diving in a dark ocean, with threads of light that are reflected and refracted in the water so that each one can go through and find the hidden pearl.

La Plata International Independent Film Festival FestiFreak was established 16 years ago in Buenos Aires (Argentina), with the premise of showing experimental and auteur films that will rarely reach the main cinemas. FestiFreak has become a reference festival within the Argentine film circuit as a true meeting place between authors, works and audiences. FestiFreak supports the purpose of sharing the cinema from its origin and it is what drives it, every year, to look for the films that encourage to elude the conventions and to propose new ways to experience the cinematographic image.

This year, the health situation forces them to expand towards home screens and other coordinates. That is why part of #16FestiFreak will also be developed in partnership with Filmhuis Cavia. From October 9 to 31, FestiFreak will offer a selection of unusual films, which inhabit the margins of current film production, visually provocative, thematically unusual and mostly never seen in Argentina. These films will continue the curiosity of the festival and its audience, despite the distance that separates us.

The curatorship selected for Filmhuis Cavia dives into Argentine and international independent experimental production. We invite you to visit it on October 9th and 10th.
