CORNELIA AND HER LOVERS
Screen adaptation of a classical gem of Argentinian literature
an award winning story by Silvina Ocampo
Director Daniel Rosenfeld (Winner of Best New Director Award at the Venice Film Festival) has successfully brought Silvina Ocampo's disturbing strangeness to film, making it a sublime, stylish and hypnotic exploration of the magical realm from which all art originates: the domain of the in-between, the space between two notes, the crack where light gets in.
Beautiful and fragile Cornelia returns to her
supposedly empty Alice in Wonderland-like
childhood home.
As the mirrors begin reflecting
her multiple personalities, lovers mysteriously
appear one by one as if wanting to keep her from
entering the other side from where there is no
return.
The filmmaker manages to stay true to the original
concept of the writer who intends the viewer to be
co-creator in this suspenseful tale of love, longing,
destiny and redemption.
As if by magic, when Cornelia looks into the mirror,
we see our own psyche in the reflections.

TREASURES
One Story Speaks for Many
This deeply moving documentary illuminates the lives of a Sephardic community in Greece whose story speaks for all people who have been displaced and wronged by war and discrimination.
The story is set in the beautiful and idyllic city of Kastoria where Jews and Christians lived in harmony for over two millennia. In October 1940 this would all change after the invasion of Greece by Axis forces. Initially occupied by Italy, the Jewish community remained safe- but after
Mussolini fell from power the Nazis took control
of the town, dooming the community that had
existed since the times of the Roman Empire.
The film uses never-before-seen archival footage,
vibrantly bringing to life just one of the many
Jewish communities that had existed before the
end of World War II. "Trezoros" (Ladino/Judeo Spanish term of endearment meaning "Treasures") is a highly emotional story told by it's survivors, with interviews filmed on location in Kastoria, Thessaloniki, Athens, Tsur Moshe, Tel Aviv, Miami, Los Angeles and New York.
TREASURES will be entered in competition for the 2017 Oscars
