This year we are organizing a mixed version: online and physical Location. Thus, we are also aiming to reach new audiences, beyond the participants from the city of Buenos Aires who usually come to the cinema.
Atlántida: Locación de Cine
Desde los años 40 se vienen filmando películas en Atlántida, producciones argentinas, norteamericanas y uruguayas han tenido como paisaje y protagonista distintos espacios de la ciudad.
Desde "La casta Susana", con Mirtha Legrand, hasta "Miami Vice", la playa y las construcciones costeñas han otorgado un set de rodaje realmente inspirador para realizadores y público. Sin duda la infraestructura y las bellezas de Atlántida permiten el feliz rodaje de films de las más variadas facturas.
Aquí verán fotos de algunos de los rodajes, seguramente faltan varios pero los podremos agregar si ustedes nos envían los registros.
Recientemente descubrimos a la gente de Uruguay desde lo alto quienes, como no podía ser de otra forma, han cubierto Atlántida desde el cielo.
The call for tenders for the second short film festival organized by the cultural association Real Dreams is underway. Participation is free. Unique showcase dedicated to cinema, the festival is organized with the artistic direction of Michelangelo Gregori and the technical direction of Luca Baffo of Videosolution.it in Viterbo (VT). The Cine Lab Festival also wants to be a signal to restart after this tragic period in which everything has stopped, a small sign that cinema continues to exist and live. This 2022 edition includes 3 sections: Female Cinema, Sustainable Cinema and Open Cinema
