EVENT CALENDAR - June 2016 -"Los Súper Cuentos de la Independencia" & "Viaje a Marte".

raya gris
 

Dates: 4 June, 3pm

"Los Súper Cuentos de la Independencia", Lorenzo y Matilda are two siblings aged 8 and 6. One day, they go to visit the workshop where their grandfather Andrés restores old books. What Lorenzo and Matilda weren’t to know was that they were about to set out on a marvellous adventure: their grandfather was restoring manuscripts about the Argentine Independence and he would tell them stories of old which, in Lorenzo’s imagination, transform into an incredible tale, where men of the past become Super Heroes. 

"Viaje a Marte", by Juan Pablo Zaramella (16´) Short stop-motion animation made in Argentina. It tells the story of Antonio, a child of the '60s fans of the TV series of science fiction and space travel. Following this enthusiasm, his grandfather decides to take him to Mars in his truck-crane.

Venue: Embassy of Argentina in London, 65 Brook St, London, W1K 4 AH.
