A NEW ERA FOR THE UNIVERSAL FILM INDUSTRY.



Whenever we discover something new. Never imagined things, sometimes.
I am a specialist in film, and frankly, I did not know that in terms of display, there were greater numbers of marginal films, not new, as are publicly known.


I have just discovered that the cinema is an iceberg, and that what 'the audience can see is just a tip, the rest is below the water. "
I always knew or sensed that films not released, but never on such a large number.
Besides, I thought I could not find the films that screen were those that had no commercial appeal and quality to go light. He was wrong.

In my discovery, I found dozens of films of high quality, often superior to that normally go to the cinema chains.
In exhibiting these films? In marginal Festivals are held around the world, even with institutional support from governments. Films that are unable to market, lack of money.
In principle, was carried out with few resources, sometimes, with zero budget.
Obviously do not feel there are players like the big stars, but you are unfamiliar with players of great talent.

If I Could in so short a time to discover more than 200 films, it is assumed that the world must be thousands and thousands.

Knowing that the number of film students at universities that the world is growing, and they will not find work in producing that work in place, the lack of logical space, we must prepare well to increase The number of movies.
Film is a passion that comes when the soul of the people fully seizes the mind and heart. Uncertainty is nothing then, imagine that within a very short time, before the growth of this sector of the hidden iceberg, given the huge number we're going to have movie is inevitably create another market.

The market of marginal cinema? Film not bleached?
The film made with very little money, too eager and talented?

Yes. Throughout. The containment dam may not contain so much hidden movies. Will break and there will be a flurry of films.

The producers covered by this group of marginal natural impulse to take leadership, who can lead and organize, which will be responsible for managing the launch and showing of these films. No matter where. But should be grouped in order to become stronger.

Do not forget that the cinema was in its infancy as marginal. Neither Edison first nor Lumiere later, never imagined that they were inventing an industry which over the years become one of the most powerful in the world, and also serve to project the image of a country in the world, as happened with United States.
They were and Georges Méliès from France D.W Griffith exalt those who contributed to the invention and industry to do so. The first, leading to the fiction film, the second display inventing mass andalusia rent theaters and get short of the lower spaces of Nickelodeon.

The signs of today's world that we will have new méliés and griffiths in the very near future. And I can see the picture, I think that these two celebrities emulator, may appear to Latin America. Argentina. More precisely, in Buenos Aires. Who am I in this path?
Fabio Junco and Julio Midú, creators of the Film Festival with Neighbors of Saladillo, are two of them. But it is emerging with an overwhelming force and vigor Rodolfo Garavagno, fimaker, composer and politic leader. These three policy-makers and film makers, who in my opinion, wil be re-invented film. Not only in Argentina but in the world.
Hollywood knows it, but not as a threat but as an opportunity to bliss and a big air for the industry: we should be already for this A NEW ERA FOR THE UNIVERSAL FILM INDUSTRY.

with high self-esteem, eager
to live, "said José Boldrini very recently,

Garavagno is a Champion

Making a movie is a very difficult undertaking.
It needs the participation of many people,
between actors, technicians, administrators in many
cases, political support.
See "El Letrista" we are putting this in front of a man: RODOLFO GARAVAGNO. He and his camera. Then the poster painter Jose Boldrini, covert and actor in some other contributions of non-actors.
Rodolfo Garavagno lonely. No technical equipment, no money ... with a book transformed a hundred times and always subject to the comings and goings of Boldrini, a mental illness did not allow him to perform professionally with obligations.
Garavagno not only was able to complete a full-length film, but a place in the music (composed and sung by the well), but achieving that thousands of people wanting to see "El Letrista"
I am one of the privileged that he could see. ¿To say whether a good or bad movie? Nonsense. What must be emphasized is that there are a number of pictures and a story that moved to tears, with an exceptional music band. It is beyond all that, the triumph of one man: Garavagno, he could finish his work against the odds. Lonely. Something unusual in the movies.

Rodolfo Garavagno is a pious man, who was working all week to be a saint, but he has the misfortune of living in Argentina, which is hell on earth.

Rodolfo Garavagno, últimas opiniones:

Tesoros Ocultos de la Cinematografía Argentina
Tu pregunta - por favor incluye cuanta más información mejor
Aun las vidas de ordinaria apariencia, las que carecen de acontecimientos sobresalientes ante la mirada del común denominador de la gente, tienen ingredientes cinematográficos de originales perfiles.
La labor de los cineastas (hoy llamados independientes) que están fuera del circuito comercial
y en muchísimos casos sin posibilidades de estreno masivo, es la que nos acerca en forma de ficción y también como documentales, las historias de estas personas. Estos directores son
en cierta medida cronistas de un mundo que pasa desapercibido para la humanidad, pero en muchos
casos, pródigo en cuadros visualmente bellísimos y literariamente apasionantes.
Cualquier hombre, no importa su clase social ni sus virtudes, es por el solo hecho
habitar este planeta, el protagonista de una película en el set de su propia vida.

Haciendo cine, involucrandome poco a poco en ese mundo del bajo costo y a veces del Cero Presupuesto, he descubierto tesoros ocultos para las grandes masas. Películas que solo encuentran su audiencia en el marco de eventos como el Festival de Cine con Vecinos de Saladillo.
En estos momentos estoy recopilando mucho de ese material. Quiero distribuírlo. No digo yo que estoy apuntando a conquistar las cadenas de cines "pochocleros" (mi expresión no tiene ánimo peyorativo), sino pequeñas y grandes cadenas alternativas.
En Argentina, debido a que la mayor parte de estos enventos son organizados por municipios, van con ticket gratis. Por este motivo, los directores, no tienen fuentes de ingreso que les permita recuperar algo de sus inversiones.
Conociendo bastante el modus operandi de países de primer mundo, se muy bien que este tipo de muestras son rentadas. Ya sea por medio de subsidios municipales y gubernamentales, o simplemente cobrando algun valor por el ticket.
Hasta hoy he visto exactamente 45 películas, y puedo garantizar que muchas de ellas son mucho mejores, en creatividad y en gancho comercial, que algunas que se estrenan en cirucuitos comerciales a gran escala. Nosotros en Argentina tenemos un Instituto de Ciencias y Artes Visuales de excelentísima envergadura. Una institución que apoya económicamente la producción y la promoción de films nacionales. Pero el número de realizadores, supera los recursos del organismo y no hay modo de solucionar el porblema, porque chocamos también con "la pared" de un país con reducida cantidad de habitantes (38 millones), y por añadidura, pocas salas para tanta producción.
Pero como día a día surgen a raudales nuevos realizadores (14 mil estudiantes en escuelas de cine de Argentina en la actualidad), esto trae aparejada la realización de films por cuenta propia, en forma undreground y sin dinero.
Pero muchos de estos films quedan sin pantalla, y de este modo, dormidos en estantes, cajones y rincones de los domicilios de sus realizadores.
Si esto pasa en Argentina, cabe imaginar que países como Mexico y España, tendrán mayor cantidad de films en este mismo estado de "anonimato".
En épocas en donde los costos se tendrán que reducir irremediablemente (ya lo insinuó la última entrega de premios Oscar), es un buen momento para echarle un ojeada a estos films a los que me estoy refiriendo. Puede que ahi esté la clave de una nueva manera de hacer y mirar cine. No solo en los países de habla hispana, sino en el resto del mundo.

Hidden Treasures of Film Argentina



Your question - please include as much information better
Even the lives of ordinary appearance, with no outstanding events of the eyes of the common denominator of people have original ingredients of film profiles.
The work of filmmakers (now called independent) that are outside the commercial circuit
and in many cases without the possibility of massive premiere, is about us as well as documentary and fiction, the stories of these people. These managers are
some chronicles of a world that goes unnoticed for humanity, but in many
cases, boxes full of beautiful and visually exciting literary.
Any man, no matter their social class or their virtues, for the simple fact is
inhabit this planet, the protagonist of a film on the set of his own life.

Film making, involving a little bit in this world of low-cost and sometimes zero budget, I have discovered hidden treasures for the masses. Films find their audience only in the context of events like the Film Festival with Saladillo neighbors.
At the moment I am collecting a lot of that material. To distribute. I do not say that I'm aiming to win cinema chains "pochocleros" (my expression is non pejorative), but small and big choices.
In Argentina, since most of these enventos are organized by municipalities, are free with ticket. For this reason, the directors have no sources of income that enables them to recover some of their investments.
Knowing well the modus operandi of first world countries are very good that such samples are rented. Either through municipal and government subsidies, or simply charge per ticket value.
Until today I have just seen 45 movies, and I can guarantee that many of them are much better in creativity and commercial hook, some that are released in large-scale commercial circuit. We in Argentina have an Institute of Science and Visual Arts Excellency scale. An institution that financially supports the production and promotion of national films. But the number of directors exceeds the resources of the organization and there is no way to solve the porblema because they clash with the "wall" of a country with small number of inhabitants (38 million), and in addition, so little room for producing .
But as every day there pouring new directors (14 thousand students in film schools in Argentina at present), this entails conducting films on their own, as undreground and no money.
But many of these films are without screens, and thus sleeping on shelves, drawers and corners of the homes of their directors.
If this happens in Argentina, one can imagine that countries like Mexico and Spain, have a higher number of films in this same state of "anonymity."
In times where the costs will inevitably be reduced (and hinted last Oscar awards ceremony), is a good time to get a look at these films to which I am referring. There may be the key to a new way to make and watch movies. Not only in Spanish-speaking countries, but in the world.
