Buenos Airių panos (Skalvija)

Real and fake
With a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower on her back, Jocely dreams of shaking up the whole world. Unfortunately, a young Argentinian woman's life gets mixed up when she gets caught with a drug shipment at the airport. Placed behind bars, she encounters Nachis, a transgender man who introduces Josseli to the women and "sluts" of the prison. It quickly becomes clear why the unusual rules apply here - with songs playing, loud music playing and clubs of non-professional actors moving, a motley group of ex-prisoners relive the everyday life they experienced in Buenos Aires prison.

Ex-escalation, ex-escalation, eccentric performances and expressive personalities - in the second feature film of Argentinian director Lola Arias, bitter reality and sweet dreams intertwine. By weaving elements of the musical into the restorative documentary, the director erases the boundaries of genres and depicts the colorful life in the women's prison - not only the violence and fear experienced, but also the love, community and joy discovered. It is important to mention that "Buenos Aires Panos" is more than a film: its idea was born by the director during a workshop in an Argentine women's prison, and the idea that developed into a social project soon went beyond the borders of the screen - today the main characters of "Buenos Aires Panos" travel around the world with with the performance "Los días afuera".

This program balances between what is not played and what is played. Directors test the limits of our perception - after all, we no longer live in a world of one reality. Here we will see a film-social project with real ex-scales, and a work of political resistance, and an ecological-philosophical essay about the collision of nature and man, and unexpected twists and turns of character transformations. These films erase or expand the definition of cinema, so the audience will have a really interesting task of deciphering what is real in the films and what is not.
