Saudade 2014 (9)

Miguel is a 17 year-old boy that sees the future as a distant horizon, immersed in his bubble of friends and a sketchbook full of sentimental poems. 'Saudade' is the portrait of a threshold: the end of high school, which we experience through Miguel. Set amidst the backdrop of the Ecuadorian economic crisis of 1999, 'Saudade' tackles notions of economic dislocation, friendship, family and young love while juxtaposing the crumbling of Miguel's life, against the crumbling of his country.

Seguir órdenes 2007

A man looks at a woman who has her back to him. The woman looks at a window. The window and then a hypothesis for a possible story: a persecution, a waiting, some enigmas, a tragic end, a return. In this singe narrative film featuring a striking mise-en-scène and a thrilling rhythmic composition, Sebastián Lingiardi demonstrates that it is possible to make a detective film in the geographical emptiness of the Argentine pampas.
