Matadero

An American filmmaker arrives to La Pampa, Argentina, to shoot 'Matadero', a founding fable about the class struggle between a group of workers killed by their bosses. It is 1974: the violent persecution of the left has just begun in Argentina and the young actors on the set are very close to jump into clandestine militancy.

'Matadero', a co-production between Argentina, Spain and France, celebrated its premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival, one of the film events with strong international prestige within this area.

The argentinian Santiago Fillol ('Ich bin Enric Marco', 'Lo que arde') is the director of 'Matadero', film that also screenwrites alongside Edgardo Dobry and Lucas Vermal.

The main actors and actress who star on the film are Malena Villa ('Butterfly', 'Chacabuco', T'he Other Summer'), Julio Perillán ('Sister of Mine', 'Ignacio of Loloya', 'The Dark Hour') and Ailín Salas ('Butterfly', 'Back to Stay', 'La helada negra'). The cast also has Rafael Federman ('If I Were the Winter Itself', 'The Long Night of Francisco Sanctis', 'Two Shots Fired'), Lina Gorbaneva ('Asmodexia', 'The Tree of Blood', 'Aliens' ), 'David Szechtman ('The Stolen Cup', 'Today We Fix the World'), Ernestina Gatti and Gustavo Javier Rodríguez.
