All You Need to Make a Movie Is a Gun

Para hacer una película solo hace falta un arma

Synopsis

At the end of 2019, dozens of cans with films made by film students in the 60s and 70s were found at the University of Córdoba. Until then, it was believed that they had been destroyed during the last military dictatorship. Fifty years later, those images are projected again, taking us to an almost unknown period of Córdoba cinema and a time of unprecedented political, social and cultural effervescence. Each frame exceeds its original intention, to tell us about a group of young people passionate about cinema and the interests that mobilized them: psychology, militancy, music, sexual freedom. But the appearance of a strange character linked to the fate of the cans reminds us of the abrupt and violent end of the dreams of that generation.
