    While many filmmakers (the majority) remained immobile during home confinement, the members of the El Pampero collective did not stop filming… Alejo Moguillansky filmed with his partner, the actress Luciana Acuña, The Middle Ages, while Agustín Mendilaharzu did the same with Constanza Feldman in Clementina…

    Clementina is Feldman’s alter-ego, who in the middle of the pandemic settles — in principle provisionally — in the apartment of her boyfriend Guillermo (Mendilaharzu) in the Chacarita neighborhood. The first few minutes are typical of this “subgenre” of COVID times: wearing masks, maintaining social distance, using hand sanitizer, disinfecting food, changing shoes as soon as you enter, earning a living by teaching online or selling homemade bread… The risk of pandemic comedy “fatigue” at this point is evident.Read More »
