“Hidden City”: Argentinian film to premiere at Berlin Critics Week

“Hidden City”, the Argentinian film by filmmaker Francisco Bouzas, will have its world premiere at the 10th Berlin Critics’ Week. It will be this Wednesday, February 21 at Hackesche Köfe Kino. What is it about? Underneath the Hidden City neighborhood, there is another city where the dead live. After the murder of the young footballer Iki Dosantos, his friend Jonas has recurring dreams about him. Jonah must find a way to cross into the city of the dead and close matters from the past that still bind him to Iki.” We made an amphibious film, which inhabits two worlds: extravagance and sobriety, artifice and reality, the big and the tiny, fiction and documentary, the world of the living and the dead,” the director said in a press release. Then he added: “We did it with the affection and commitment to which more than a decade of friendship, creation and work predisposes us. Also without ever losing sight of what the film is all about, one more tantrum.” Francisco Bouzas is a graduate of the National University of Arts and has participated as director of the Berlinale Talents BA. His film “Los locos no se ocultan” (2015) was presented in Ciudad Oculta in a screening for 500 neighbors. “The Fourth Dimension” (2018), his first feature, premiered and won an award at the 20th BAFICI.
