Los visionadores

2021 · 51 min

A playful, digressive plunge into scratchy VHS nostalgia that feels like rummaging through a friend's gloriously weird video collection.

Genres
Documentary, Comedy
Starring
Damián Dreizik, Federico Rotstein, Santiago Calori
Overview
The venerable VHS may have surprises. A strange spell captures the protagonists, who are friends, and submerges them straight into the world of the most implausible Argentine cop films. An amazing flow of images lost, forgotten and recovered whose consumption threatens to become addictive.
