Watching: Carnival Season

Overview

In Sastre y Ortiz, a small town in the province of Santa Fe, carnival is experienced as something far deeper than a mere celebration. Constructed from archival footage, this non-fiction work reflects on the carnival as a collective ritual and a space of resistance against oblivion. A place where a town unites to confront its pain, allowing joy and sorrow, the sacred and the profane, and the very contradictions of human experience to coexist.
