Light traps: Films by Pablo Marín

Pablo Marín’s film work –filmed almost exclusively in super 8 (a format that was essential in the history of Argentinian experimental cinema)– delves into the personal and the quotidian. Over the years, he has brought together a sort of film journal, abstract and oblique, where, by the means of superimpositions, masks, and frame by frame techniques, he puts to the test the potentialities of cinema.
Pablo Marín (Buenos Aires, 1982) is a critic, filmmaker and translator. As an independent researcher and curator, he has presented programmes on Argentinean cinema in the United States, Canada, Spain, Austria, Finland and Switzerland. He translated books by Jonas Mekas, Stan Brakhage and John Waters, among others. His film Resistfilm (2014) won the best Avant-Garde Film at Filmadrid, and his latest, Trampa de luz (2021), was awarded the Principal Online Prize of the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.
