Teatro de guerra (Theatre of War). 2018. Argentina/Spain. Directed by Lola Arias. In English, Spanish; English subtitles. 82 min.

Since 1833, jurisdiction over the Falkland/Malvinas Islands has been the source of major controversy—so much so that in 1982, this ongoing debate resulted in war. Over the course of three months nearly 1,000 British and Argentine soldiers lost their lives in a war for sovereignty. Blurring the lines between reality and fiction, this unorthodox documentary focuses on the damaging effects the Falklands War had on six of its soldiers. Through the use of theatrical performance, reenactment, music, and storytelling, Theatre of War revisits a kind of universal turmoil.

A Doc Fortnight/Cinema Tropical collaboration

This film accompanies Doc Fortnight 2019: MoMA’s Festival of International Nonfiction Film and Media.
