(Esteban Sapir / Argentina / 2007 / 90 mins / Spanish (English subtitles) / 35mm)
A remarkable fantasy from Argentina and fashioned as a silent film. Is set in a city whose inhabitants cannot speak and the story tells of a group of
free-thinking rebels who fight back against the evil Mr TV who controls via his hypnotic television broadcasts. Mr TV has further plans for the city without a voice and only a young girl, her father and the blind boy stand in his way.
La Antena brilliantly blends live action and animation to create a beautiful expressionist vision which pays respectful homage to the early days of cinema whilst also having great fun with its conventions.
Lovers of Tim Burton and cinema's early experimenters such as Georges Méliès and Fritz Lang won't want to miss this ingenious flight of fancy.
