Lise Pedersen Zagreb-based doc specialist Splitscreen has boarded Argentinian gaucho tale “Where the Trees Bear Meat” by Alexis Franco ahead of its world premiere at Swiss documentary film festival Visions du Réel.
It is one of 15 films vying for the top prize in the main international competition. Set in the Argentine Pampas, the film follows Omar, a farmer, whose cows are dying as a result of a prolonged drought.
Other prominent characters include Omar’s ageing mother, who has started planning her own departure, and his four-year-old granddaughter, whom he takes care of in her father’s absence.
Omar is Franco’s uncle, and the world he portrays in every lovingly crafted shot is the one he grew up in. This intimacy gives the film an authenticity that transcends the stereotypes and clichés often associated with gaucho culture.
