The films:

Todos Mienten ("They All Lie", 2009) is an Argentinean film written
and produced by filmmaker Matias Piñeiro. A group of friends gathered in the remote country side of Argentina. Shot as a chamber piece, the
film plays with the conversation of linear narrative, taking its protagonists on a diabolical dance. Referencing painting, literature and film, it questions the role of art and its diverse forms in current society.

Romance (2008) is a Brazilian film directed by Guel Arraes depicting different ways of defining love. Pedro is a passionate but unsuccessful actor and director who falls madly in love with Ana, the actress who plays Isolde in his latest adaptation of Tristan and Isolde. Behind the curtains, the couple struggle to keep their love reciprocal.

After the screening there will be Q&A sessions where students and participants will have the chance to ask to questions about the films and the DLA Film Festival.
