Sinopsis:
Alvino Velázquez vive sólo en el centro de la Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. Trabaja como vaquero en un campo. Su compañía son sus perros, sus caballos, el lago y el bosque. Con ellxs ha aprendido a comunicarse. Donde Alvino vive, no son necesarias las palabras. La poesía está en el monte. El desafío es aprender a escucharla.
Yo callo esta es mi tierra,
No me espanta el aguacero
Ni el corcovado viento que lame las ventanas
Este es el cielo de mis lluvias
Nada puede dañarme
Conmigo van la noche y la tormenta.

about us
Extremos was my first experience as a documentary producer and also my debut as a film distributor.
Entirely recorded in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina; the project was declared of cultural interest in the province and obtained the Grant for Group Projects from the National Fund for the Arts , and carried out with the support of the Fuegian Institute of Tourism and Ushuaia Extremo. Thanks to these contributions, we were able to finish the film and hold a preview at the National Library and CC Matienzo (2014). It was exhibited in more than 50 festivals in Argentina and abroad, highlighting its participation in the Mar del Plata International Film Festival (2015 and 2016), Malaga (2016), Hot Docs (2016), Punto de Vista (2016; awarded by CINE.AR at the FICMUS SHH USHUAIA FILM FESTIVAL (2015), the FAB (Bariloche, 2015), Social Images (La Rioja, 2015), among others. was exhibited twice at the legendary Gaumont cinema (Buenos Aires, Argentina) thanks to the Ciudades Reveladas festival (2015) and the Night of the Short Film (2016).

Documentary "Extremes" - Trailer - YouTube
Synopsis:
Tierra del Fuego contains a present time full of polarities, antipodes, extremes.
Its landscapes, its vegetation and a contrasted city which is constantly moving forward, compose the surface to project images of selk´nam community, in which the past and the present coexist in the same narrative time.
​
Through a technique called mapping (images or videos projection in 3D surfaces such as buildings or objects) and film editing, the story articulates originary ceremonies and contemporary behaviors, which generates a third new vision from usual situations.
Extremes invites to reflect that, in the end,we all form one human being..
Meet The Team
Synopsis:
A woman who lives on the coast of Chubut makes a trip to the mountains to find the traces left by her grandfather, Juan Carlos Espina, a former doctor in the Cushamen region. On his journey, Nahue confirms why his grandfather headed a political project that sought to counteract inequalities and injustices in the area. The evidence of a continuity of the "desert campaign" that sought to exterminate the Original Peoples, will provide a clear historical context to analyze the present in Patagonia.
