50ª mostra > filmes > The Phantom

Two female young producers get commissioned to make a documentary about an elusive and enigmatic figure of the Argentine avant-garde of the sixties. The project also requires the participation of a successful leading figure in conceptual art and a former collaborator of the artist. What begins as a clear and well-defined project, based on interviews and archival materials gradually turns into a haunting question: How to make visible someone who chose to disappear? Presented in the Giornate degli Autori at the Venice Film Festival.
