Marcos Martínez

Era Perú House

Cell phone cameras, WhatsApp messages, memes and TikToks portray the unique life in confinement that a Buenos Aires building adopted during the 2020 pandemic. The hilarious everyday life built by the neighbors becomes the best shield to face the approaching collapse.

Deaf

Martinez's second feature documentary assembles a theatre group of deaf actors in order to portray their lives and at the same time avoid any pedagogic representation of the non-hearing people. Coming from different environments and provinces, la troupe has to overcome various difficulties to put on stage their last play, hoping to attract an audience beyond the Argentine deaf community.

Stars

Shot almost in its entirety in the corridors of the Villa 21, one of Buenas Aires' most well-known shanty-towns, Estrellas (Stars) revolves around the work of Julio Arrieta, who is both a theatre director and is responsible for providing shooting locations for those directores wishing to film in an Argentine ghetto.
