Ánima Buenos Aires

by María Verónica Ramírez – , 2012

('95, Digital, original version with Italian subtitles)

Humor, tango and emotion, in a film that reveals the hidden soul of Buenos Aires by means of the subtle look of the most outstanding artists of animation and graphic arts of Argentina. This is a feature animation film made up of four episodes, reflecting each one a different profile, a unique place of this magical city, with the main role of tango, as music and as dance. 2D animation, collage and photomontage, stop motion, stencils, are combined with an exquisite handling of humor, absurd and poetry, to create an extraordinary plastic and conceptually rich movie.
