Adrián Suar was recognized for Polka’s 30th anniversary, which has now closed; “Los siete locos” was nominated, which went off the air, and María Marull was recognized for “La Pilarcita”, a play that premiered almost a decade ago.
Adrián Suar was honoured for his 30-year career at the helm of Polka, which he himself admitted is on hold.
APTRA presented the awards to TV and the usual contradictions surfaced. Although Maria Marull She is an excellent playwright, who finished establishing herself together with her sister Paula Marull with “What the river does” in theatre, multi-awarded with all theatre awards, It is not understood why APTRA distinguishes her as a TV author. He did not conceive a fiction for the small screen but a play like “La Pilarcita”, his first play released nine years ago and which public TV rescued, among others, to bring to the small screen in the absence of original fictions for television.
In recent years, the almost non-existent presence of series or strips on open TV, despite the top-level artistic and technical professionals, led Public TV to a praised cycle called “Theater”, emerged from the need to disseminate the country’s acting activity. Curated by Ruben Szuchmacher. They saw on that screen “Absentha”, by Alejandro Acobino; “Patagonian Ubu”, by Mariana Chaud; “Because of the level”, from Alfredo Staffolani, “A Sunday with the family”, by Susana Torres Molina; “The Extraordinary Life” by Mariano Tenconi Blanco; among others.
Without a doubt, the script for “La pilarcita” is excellent, but it is a play that beat fictions written especially for television such as “Buenos Muchachos” by Claudio Lacelli, Willy Van Broock and Vicky Crespo and “Argentina, Land of Love and Revenge”, by Lily Ann Martin, Claudio Lacelli and Vicky CrespoThese scriptwriters created daily chapters, a task completely different from the conception of the dramaturgy of a work.
Adrian Suar He was honored for his 30-year career at the helm of Polka, which he himself admitted is on hold. With its doors closed due to the impossibility of producing independently, without mainstream allies like the big platforms, Suar, ambassador for actors on television, spoke about the lack of fiction on TV: “It is difficult because of the costs, not because of the lack of talent.” In the recognition of their production company, they recalled “Vulnerables”, “Mujeres asesinos”, “Poliladron”, “Son amores”, “Padre valiente”, “El tigre Verón”, “Campeones” and others. Suar recalled that they made more than 80 programs.
To conclude, in the cultural educational category, a sector that has been losing ground on TV for some time, “Ambiente y medio” won, which competed against “Prócer” and “Los siete locos”, the program that was removed from Public TV in April of this year along with “El refugio de la cultura”. The cycles of Cristina Mucci and Osvaldo Quiroga respectively, just like “Las dos carátulas” on Radio Nacional, were lifted this year, after decades of experience. Mucci found a place in the City Canal while Quiroga streaming went upside down.
The winner for the cultural program acknowledged that awareness about environmentalism grew, accompanied by young people, but pointed against “incongruous denialisms and political setbacks of all kinds”, in clear allusion to the ideas of Javier Milei around ecology.
