BirriLata, Around by Train

Directed by Lorena Yenni

With Fernando Birri, Dolly Pussi, Alfredo Guevara, Jerónimo Labrada and Alquimia Peña

Few people in Argentine and Latin American cinema have been as close as Fernando Birri to stand as a patriarch, pioneer, and spokesman for a committed cinema that tears itself apart in its solidarity with its own surroundings. This ode to the tireless Birri presents him to us in full: teaching, establishing standards, and creating with the tools of his time, turning culture into a form of political affirmation as he grows more and more vital and rooted.
