Proa Cine presented Edgardo Cozarinsky’s film last screening
During July, Proa Cinema presented Edgardo Cozarinsky’s last film: “Apuntes para una biografía imaginaria”, which was very well received by the audience. In its four screenings, the film’s director discussed with renowned cinema personalities.
Cozarinsky wrote the following words as a conclusion to the program, which Proa Cinema was proud to have presented:
‘There is a “camera cinema”, which does not want to interact with its audience. It doesn’t request numerous viewers, more to the contrary. An adequate ambiance for listening to one of Mahler’s symphonies differs greatly from one suitable for Haydn’s quartet.
The ideal receiving space for what I call “camera cinema” is intimate; I dare say, confidential. This is the reason why Proa’s Auditorium seemed ideal to present my “Apuntes para una biografía imaginaria”. At this place, the spectator could listen to Ulises Conti’s music and immerse himself in the game of fiction versus document, hinted by the images and few texts on the film, away from the noise of popcorn chewing, so familiar to cinema theaters. This chosen space enabled a casual approach with the audience after each screening. If the legitimate seduction of industrial cinema is based upon the splendor behind the show, the “camera cinema” introduces a different way of establishing a conversation with the audience.’
