FILM DESCRIPTIONS
TIERRA DE PATAGONES (Argentina)
Director/Producer: Julian Azulay & Joaquin Azulay
The gauchos del mar pursue their goal of surfing at one of the southernmost areas of the world: Staten Island. They travel with a truck and live in a tent across the Argentinean and Chilean Patagonia during six months, where they share their experiences with native people and get to know their jobs, which are different from those that exist in cities, they show the endemic flora and fauna, and fight against the harsh weather conditions to reach Ushuaia. There, they get onto a boat and sail through the Beagle Channel, across the Straight of Le Maire, which is one of the most dangerous seas in the world, to get to the uninhabited island.
