Poster for La toma

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Sandra Gugliotta gets into the classrooms of the high school Nicolás Avellaneda neighborhood of Palermo. The flickers of that story coming through the media tend to be in black and white, with heroes and villains, and the film Gugliotta what it shows is how, with successes and failures, all work around a same idea, which is to better education in better conditions. Naturally it is not here an idyllic story is told, while there are conditions ("state special situation in which it is someone or something") in which it becomes very difficult to study and conditions ( "ability or willingness") against which it is also very difficult to hold any dialogue. But before the general state of tension, witness these dialogues is, at least, encouraging. (Extracted from BAFICI.gob.ar)

2009 · ★ 10.0 (1)

Here Come The Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized" is an animated collaboration between the band and four filmmakers: Guilherme Marcondes, Julia Pott, Peter Sluszka and Santa Maria. The Los Angeles Times describes it as "a tumbling series of visuals with four distinct aesthetic styles. Peter Sluszka's ultra-slow motion capture of exploding mushrooms and elegantly disseminating seed pods … Julia Pott's line art of wolves and foxes hovering in geometric constellations … Guilherme Marcondes' renderings of skeletons caught among leafless branches and verdant human arms that unfurl like ferns… Santa Maria provides context…with cosmic, computer-generated vistas, cartoons of splintering bones.
