Synopsis
Bizarrofilia
Argentina is a country with an extensive and varied cinematography. Within this enormity, there is a rare, atypical… bizarre cinema. Bizarrofilia aims to investigate the origin and meaning of the word “bizarre”, how the passage of time implies reinterpretations of some works, and focuses on the contemporary production of films that aim to distance themselves from any mimetic representation of reality… although in a country like ours reality…
Man on Wire
On August 7th 1974, French tightrope walker Philippe Petit stepped out on a high wire, illegally rigged between New York's World Trade Center twin towers, then the world's tallest buildings. After nearly an hour of performing on the wire, 1,350 feet above the sidewalks of Manhattan, he was arrested. This fun and spellbinding documentary chronicles Philippe Petit's "highest" achievement.
