In it Dardo Rocha de La Plata Passagethe central hub of cultural activities in the capital of Buenos Aires, enters its final stretch Phantom Cycle. It is a show that emerged from the FestiFreak Film Festivalheld annually between the months of September and October.
“Fantasmático is a totally immersive experiencedeveloped from the space for experimentation that has always been the live music film section of the FestiFreak Festival that turns 20 this year“he explained for this medium Nahuel Lahoraproducer of the cycle, and remarked that “we were always interested in the intersections between various disciplines.”
The experience lasts for just over an hour in the dark, through the guidance of a host actress. No electricity for any part of the show, mechanical devices are used to constitute an installation that focuses on the elemental relationships of audiovisual language. Artists from various disciplines participate, such as performance, scenography, visual arts, music, theater and dance.
In this framework, Lahora assured that “all of these people were of course crossed by the industry and it was very uncomfortable for us to insert ourselves into these new rules, which forced us to be a little more performers.” “Thinking about cinema outside the industry is quite a challengebut I think it is something very attractive, possible and healthy,” he said.
Furthermore, he highlighted that he himself FestiFreak Festivalfrom where this proposal was born “has the imprint of going on the margins, always seeking a formal development in the works and in the distribution, and think of programming as a journey and also as an aesthetic experience: touring the different sections of the festival, forming an audience and opening up a bit of the panorama as opposed to the commercial spaces.”
“Really, when people enter this dark room, they gradually leave behind the baggage that we bring. Of the screens above all, but also of the functionality of being based on something in a space and “You allow yourself to open up a little to perception, or to an uncertain expectation and also to danger.”celebrated and invited “to be predisposed to consume an aesthetic experience.”
