Burnt Oranges is an experimental documentary, 90 minutes long, about the long-term effects and repercussions, personal and social, of Argentina's 1970’s state terrorism.

The film is timely. It has strong humanitarian content and establishes links between the struggles of the Argentine people, to recover social principles and communal ties, with today’s necessity to defend human rights, preserve human dignity, and democratic values.

The film vividly reveals current life in Buenos Aires through the eyes of a long-gone native, while it also records and uncovers compelling testimonies of resistance, transformation, and hope. Juxtaposing an intimate first person witness narration with interviews, documentary, and re-created footage, issues of memory, historical time, identity, love, loss and accountability emerge.

Director Silvia Malagrino will be in attendance at this special showing.

Regular Admission Prices apply.
