The Short Films of Raymundo Gleyzer interrogates an authoritarian government, shining a light on the humans trapped within.

The Short Films of Raymundo Gleyzer features some of the greatest work of the polemic Argentinean documentarian. While Gleyzer’s films often revolve around everyday people and their mundane activities, his stories are fueled by a political fire. These films examine the cruelty of unjust rule through personal, human stories.

As Gleyzer sharpened his incisive voice, his country slid into fascism. This collection of shorts provides the context for that disintegration of freedom. Because of his work, in 1976 Gleyzer was disappeared by his own government, yet his voice endures through these films.

Also featuring Jorge Denti’s The AAA Are the Armed Forces (1979).
