Original Title

Las Poetas vistan a Juana Bignozzi
  • Director: Laura Citarella, Mercedes Halfon

CGiii Comment

A poet dies and another one, younger, feels an obligation to promote her work. She is joined by a team of women filmmakers. The film begins with this unusual triangle but, interestingly, it grows into something more complex and subtle than a traditional research project. When Juana Bignozzi died in 2015, she had been allowed to live in her homeland for another ten years after thirty years in exile in Barcelona. The Argentine poet left her work - beloved in Spanish-language cult circles - to the young journalist and poet Mercedes Halfon, who understandably felt obliged to deal with this legacy well. She received support from El Pampero Cine, a team of female filmmakers around Laura Citarella ( La mujer de los perros, Tiger Competition 2015).
