Buenos Aires, 1985. A year has passed. It is the first anniversary of the death of Alexis Carpenter, the ascendant and unstable supermodel who died tragically when he burned down while closing a parade due to an electrical fault. Lucia L’uccello -Editor-in-Chief of the most important magazine in Buenos Aires- chooses the supermodels Eva Lantier …

Meghan Markle's royal wedding to Prince Harry will be historic for many different reasons. Aside from being an American, the Suits actress has also done something that is almost unheard of when it comes to royal brides: she graduated from college. In fact, the only other royal bride who has received a college education is her future sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. Looks like these two ladies already have something to bond over! RelatedThanks to Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton Will No Longer Be the Oldest Royal Bride After graduating from a private Catholic school in La, Meghan attended the Chicago campus of Northwestern University, which is based in Evanston, Il. Aside from earning a bachelor's degree with a double major in theater and international studies in 2003, she was also a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority during her time in school. Shortly after her graduation, Meghan worked at the Us Embassy in Buenos Aires,...

One of the takeaways from my trip to Morbido at the end of October was a sense that there is a burgeoning genre film community on the rise in Argentina. With films like What the Waters Left Behind from the Onetti brothers, Clementina from Jimena Monteoliva, Aterrados from Demian Rugna and Relicto from Laura Sanchez Acosta the country shows great promise as a key contributor to LatAm genre cinema in the years to come. Filmmakers Ezequiel Endelman and Leandro Montejano from Buenos Aires are looking to add their names to that cadre with their Argentinian Giallo flick Crystal Eyes (Mirada de Cristal). They graciously passed along the trailer for their film, along with a collection of bill cards as well. Buenos Aires,...

Summer 1993 — Catalonia, Spain
So cathartic was Summer 1993 that my personal psyche will be marked by it forever. Why this story, about a six year old girl who quietly and slowly comes to terms with the death of her mother and how the process, invisible to anyone watching, culminates in a sudden crescendo of emotion moved me to tears, is what you must find out on your own.
No one knows the emotions of another person unless communication, self-knowledge and compassion work in favor of knowing. Yes tears and laughter mean a lot but without tears and laughter, there are thousands of feelings not communicated which result in actions whose meaning is unknown. And for children who have no words for their feelings or why they act as they do, adults can only surmise and intuit if they are able.
A child of six has no way of knowing death; children are fearless,...

She might have just wrapped a hugely successful TV series and be engaged to a prince, but Meghan Markle’s resume contains more than a few surprises.
Political Intern
After double-majoring in theater and international relations, Meghan worked at the U.S Embassy in Argentina during her senior year. With a keen interest in politics, she was thrown from college life to speeding around in motorcades in Buenos Aires. “I thought for sure I would still have a career in politics,” she told Marie Claire.

Meghan Markle was destined to be a royal!
The 36-year-old actress and Prince Harry announced their engagement this week, and she will soon be by his side to work together on causes dear to their hearts.
Markle may be known for her role as Rachel Zane on Suits, but the brunette beauty has also been giving back to the community and fighting for women's rights long before her ties to Prince Harry and her expected soon-to-be royal duties.
Her humanitarian and philanthropic work began prior to her becoming an actress. It all began with her mother, Doria Ragland, who has a master's degree in social work and works as a psychotherapist. In an interview with Glamourearlier this year, Markle listed her mom as one of the women who changed her life.
"My mom's a yoga instructor, but she does social work, as well, and she works specifically with the geriatric community," she stated. "For me...

Better than ever, now in its seventh year, the spectacular program with its filmmaking guests and a committed community of dedicated and intellectually alive filmgoers invigorates the mind and activist tendencies already in play.
Take for instance, University of Arizona Professor Noam Chomsky, one of the most influential public intellectuals in the world, speaking with Regents’ Professor Toni Massaro about social justice and the environment. Here he is, in person, being honored as every word he speaks is treated as a jewel. Considered the founder of modern linguistics, Chomsky has written more than 100 books, his most recent being Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power. An ardent free speech advocate, Chomsky has published and lectured widely on U.S. foreign policy, Mideast politics, terrorism, democratic society and war. Chomsky, who joined the UA faculty this fall, is a laureate professor in the Department of...

The Night I SwamThe Vienna International Film Festival—or the Viennale, for short—has for many years been a kind of respite, perhaps even a bit of a beautiful secret outside of European cinephilia, for those looking to be invigorated by the ever-renewing promise of cinema. First under the direction of Alexander Horwath, who left the festival in 1997 and in 2002 took the lead of the illustrious Austrian Film Museum, and for the last 21 years under the guidance of Hans Hurch, the Viennale has cultivated that rare thing: A cultural institution that has a distinct and idiosyncratic sensibility of taste. It is a yearly event in which you can find the rare gems of the mainstream vividly mixed with expansive retrospectives, the latest films from major auteurs and exciting debutantes alike, with no fear of short or medium length works, a strong love for the avant-garde and an even more fierce...

Calu Rivero is a well-known Argentinian actress, whose life story can empower young Latinas trying to break into show business.
Rivero’s acting career took off in her South American homeland, but like other ambitious women, she sought greater opportunities. She hopped on a plane to stake her claim on Hollywood, but La-la land wasn’t what she’d hoped: “It was too much, and I was alone. I was without my dog Leo, who was in Buenos Aires, and I felt so lonely.

Pablo Trapero's bruising and intense Carancho (2010) remains high on my list of personal favorites, but he's also made Rolling Family (2004) and Lion's Den (2008) and, more recently, White Elephant and The Clan. Now his next film is ready to roll. Martina Gusmán (Lion's Den) and Bérénice Bejo (The Artist) will star in Trapero's La Quietud, according to Variety. It's described as "an intimate family drama turning on two sisters' reencounter and attempt at closure on a common troubled past." The cast includes Edgar Ramirez, Graciela Borges and Joaquín Furriel. It's set to begin shooting next month in Buenos Aires. Visit Variety to read more about the story behind the film as well as Trapero's intentions....

Nele Wohlatz's The Future Perfect (2016), which is receiving an exclusive global online premiere on Mubi, is showing from September 29 - October 29, 2017 as a Special Discovery.Language determines our thinking. So what happens when, for whatever reason, we move to another country, lose the use of our mother tongue and start to live in a new language? The language books teach us phrases like, “The dog is grey. The cat is white,” or “Mary talks to her clients over the phone and sells plane tickets. She is a travel agent.” We didn’t write these phrases, nor do they necessarily help us in what we actually want to say to express ourselves. They are texts for a role still unknown and therefore uncomfortable to us. It takes weeks or month until an actor assumes ownership of a new character, and even more until an immigrant is able to assume ownership...

When Normani Kordei gets knocked down, she doesn’t just get up again — she lands in a half-split and owns it.
In a video captured by a fan and uploaded on Twitter, the Fifth Harmony member can be seen walking around in thigh-high boots during a performance of “Made You Mad,” before suddenly losing her balance. But instead of landing awkwardly, Kordei dropped down to a half split and then took a moment before dramatically whipping her hair back like a boss.
Then, as if nothing out of the ordinary happened, she seamlessly slid back up into standing position without using her hands for aid.

You can bet that someone would be in trouble if this house, bar, whatever, was fully built without any permission or even a word to the creators of the Simpsons. Yet someone is still willing to build a Moe’s Tavern in Buenos Aires, Argentina without checking if it’s okay first. Oh well, better to ask forgiveness than beg for permission, right? At least we hope that would be that case. A lot of fans catching wind of this would be on the next flight to Buenos Aires just to take a selfie with this place in the background, if they

During a Fifth Harmony concert at Luna Park Stadium in Buenos Aires, singer and Power Rangers star Becky G was removed from the stage by security guards when she tried helping one of the group members Dinah Jane Hansen out with a wardrobe malfunction. Awkward.
“I was telling to go cover her booty because her outfit ripped again,” the singer—in good spirits—explained to one of her followers on Twitter. She also fangirled over Hansen tweeting at her, “Now you know I’m your number one fan.”

After a premature ending, Hannibal season 4 is looking more like a possibility now. One fan speculates on what it might be...
That Hannibal survived as long as it did is a minor miracle. A baroque opera of a TV show packed with elaborate plot twists, psychological games, gore elevated to the level of art and pitch-black humour, Hannibal never should have been on network television. Perhaps its greatest tragedy is that NBC picked it up without truly knowing what they were going to get; a crime procedural based on an iconic property must have seemed a no brainer. Of course that was not accounting for the ways in which creator Bryan Fuller managed to take well-trodden material to stunning new heights, subverting the text while paying loving tribute to it and all the while forging a path all its own. Hannibal was unlike anything else on TV...

About the hour:
For those of you that follow this podcast regularly, you will notice that this episode has been a long time coming. If you’re finding this right after listening to Hour 7, then you haven’t noticed a thing! Either way, I’m hopeful that you will find this hour quite interesting whether you waited 8 months or 8 hours to hear it.
Hour 8 of The Podcast takes us down way below Rio to find out what people in Buenos Aires know of the Criterion Collection. Delfina Krusemann is a features reporter for La Nacion in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was lucky enough to be a part of an article she wrote in February of 2017 on the history of Criterion and it’s then new foray with TCM and FilmStruck into their streaming partnership. Ms. Krusemann and I exchanged a few emails, but unfortunately not much of my info made it into the article.

Every so often, a film comes along without much of a “heads up” through a trailer or really even festival buzz, and absolutely punches you square in the gut. Maybe it is an exciting new filmmaker making his or her debut, or there is a revelatory lead performance from an actor you’re not well versed in. And sometimes it’s both, and so very much more.
That is the case with the new political thriller The Long Night of Francisco Sanctis. The directing debut of co-directors Andrea Testa and Francisco Marquez, the film sends the viewer back to 1977 in Argentina, where the country is under oppressive junta rule. Taking a decidedly intimate approach to engrossing the viewer in this brutal regime and its effects on the larger country, the film focuses entirely on one man, the titular Sanctis. A simple, unassuming man going about his life with wife Angelica (Laura Paredes) and two children,...
