Retrospective Lucrecia Martel Unpredictable Realism

Cinéma Public, in partnership with Concordia University and the Consulate of Argentina in Montreal, is excited to present the work of Lucrecia Martel to enthusiasts and curious minds. In this retrospective, we invite you to (re)discover Martel’s caustic portrait of middle-class provincial families in the films of the “Salta Trilogy” (La ciénaga, La niña santa, La mujer sin cabeza), her satiric period drama Zama, where Martel further develops her corrosive criticism of colonialism and patriarchy and Terminal norte, premiering at the Berlinale this month. This series of screenings also includes Manuel Abramocivh’s documentary Años Luz, a testament to Martel’s creative filmmaking process on the set of Zama. This retrospective, which concludes with a masterclass online with Martel herself and a roundtable on Lucrecia Martel’s cinema, is a unique opportunity to discover and learn more about Martel’s complex and allusive cinema within the socio-political and historical context of Argentina. This event takes place February 17 to March 11
