In April , we partnered up with our collaborators and friends Natalia Christofoletti Barrenha and Julia Kratje, for a small but no less ambitious showcase featuring two newly restored films that celebrate the legacy of the Argentine filmmaker María Luisa Bemberg at ¡Viva! Spanish & Latin American Festival in Manchester.
With Focus on María Luisa Bemberg we aimed to look back at Bemberg’s extraordinary career and acknowledge her indelible contribution to feminist filmmaking by bringing Oscar-nominated and famously tragic Camila and Miss Mary, with specially commissioned subtitles, to audiences in the UK.
IW’s own Camilla Baier introduced the opening screenings of both films.

MARIA LUISA BEMBERG’S FIRST FEATURE FILMS

Even fewer have mentioned the two early films she scripted. To date, nearly all the writers who have referred to these movies have tended to gloss over them, occasionally remarking that they present stories of similar kinds of female transgression as her later films, while being of little note in other respects. I would argue that it is only when the contexts of these films are considered, and when the films themsel
