Info

Argentina/Austria/

69 minutes

  • 26th Mar del Plata International Film Festival WIP selection

Synopsis

Based on testimonies of textile workers recorded over a one-month period, From the Distance depicts the plight of immigrants who were subjected to exploitation in illegal sweatshops. It follows the stories of workers who have arrived from Bolivia to Buenos Aires lured by the promise of work. An unusual technique serves as a fresh starting point: the film is portrayed by 25 actors and non-actors who perform in real locations, therefore instantly creating a strong dislocation between what is seen on the screen and the horrible facts that lie underneath the surface.

About Nabis

Nabis was created in March of 2010; an idea stemmed from a group of film direction and photography students living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is a film collective focused mainly on production of auteur films in South America in order to also establish a connection with European production.

Although based in Buenos Aires, Nabis is linked to Vienna, Austria, which serves as a bridge to showcase the broad and independent production opportunities in Argentina. Our main aim is to produce and incorporate all fields of film production and proposals from young talents to create short-films, features and documentaries that maintain a specific creativity and style that we can call our own.
