Between Windows Flier

Jorge Luis Borges talked about a red fish swims backwards so the water will not get into its eyes in El libro de los seres imaginarios (The Book of Imaginary Beings), this red fish pops up whenever I am confronted with differences in thinking. Between Windows attempts to initiate dialogues about and around Latin America through time-based media to see if we can swim backwards together.

Jorge Luis Borges habló en el Libro de los Seres Imaginarios acerca del pez rojo, el que nada a contracorriente para que el agua no entre en sus ojos; este pez aparece siempre que me encuentro con pensamientos diferentes. Between Windows intenta iniciar dialogos entre y sobre Latininoamerica a través de los medios de comunicacion para intentar nadar juntxs contra la corriente.

Piracy: the Adventure of Cinema
Film screening curated by Gabriel Menotti
For someone that just wants to watch a movie, piracy can be a lot of trouble. One has to dive deep into torrent websites and go through jungles of porno pop-ups to finally find the desired work – after hours (sometimes days!) of unstable download, only to discover the file is encrypted or no video code installed. Worse, the copy can be bad quality or with unsynchronized subtitles. So much work, only to avoid paying few bucks for a ticket?!

But maybe the whole point of piracy is beyond this mere economy. In this screening, Gabriel Menotti, a Brazilian expert on pirate cinema, will engage us with his film treasures and aesthetic of technological nuisances.
