No Fui yo, Fuimos todas (It's Not me, We Were All) By Camilo A...
Today's 21:60 film, No Fui yo, Fuimos todas (It's Not me, We Were All) By Camilo Accavallo. Synopsis: It's not me, were all is a short film directed by Aukaleb Ankaro, taking place in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The film deals with gender violence, showing how indifference is played by the panopticon. In symmetrical locked cubicles, all located in the same space, the same movements are reproduced almost mechanically. Depending on the gender roles assigned to us, it establishes rules and punishments. Becoming repeating a huge assembly parts. Without allowing reflection from violence that imposes its rhythm relentless pace of chains in cement cubicles. Life as an assembly line, the coming and going to be reduced within 24 hours, each plays a role, each is a piece of the great invisible machinery. The only thing that can break that chain is an error on the same assembly line, which stops for a short period of time. It is corrected, and reprises that a-rhythmic pace. The woman designated as domestic object is the one who is most exposed to the violence of a society that naturalizes daily aggressions and felt increasingly foreign to their claims. However, the panopticon does not include the intrinsic solidarity that appears when you string line breaks and anger overflows. If we organize in defense of our freedoms, the demand for justice ceases to be an individual silence and becomes a collective cry.

My Dad, by Matthew Aitia
Today's 21:60 film: My Dad, by Matthew Aitia. Synopsis: Filmmakers today rely too much on looking at a screen and not worrying about how much they're shooting since they have infinite amount of memory card space. As for with film, you need to make sure your exposure is right and actually think about your composition of each shot before you start rolling. I thought my dad would be a perfect subject for this project since things can be displayed and expressed so differently through film. People think it's all about the equipment, but really it's all about the story and how you're telling it. Remember to vote for this film on our website: http://www.take21.ca/watch-21-60-films
