The enthusiasm of Buenos Aires cinefolk for Israeli director Avi Mograbi and his film Z32 shows no sign of abating. Página/12 - a national newspaper which enjoys the favor of the government and whose weekend culture and entertainment sections are obligatory reading for a good part of the capital’s progressively minded opinion - today devotes two whole pages to an interview with three local documentary film makers in which each tries to outdo his colleagues in expressions of admiration for Mograbi and his latest film. I said what I have to say about the film itself in a previous post and here will focus on a couple of the more general ideas expressed by the journalist and his interviewees.

There’s a retrospective of Avi Mograbi’s films on at a leading Buenos Aires art house and Z32, his most recent effort, has a regular slot at a state-sponsored cinema that normally only puts on Argentine films that wouldn’t survive on the commercial circuit.
