INTERNATIONAL RELEASE MAY 21St Directors' Fortnight, Cannes INTERNATIONAL RELEASE MAY 21st Directors’ Fortnight, Cannes 2012 Control Z Films presents 3, a familiar comedy. Humberto de Vargas, Sara Bessio and Anaclara Ferreyra Palfy play the leading roles in Pablo Stoll’s new film, a dramatic comedy about the three members of a nuclear, disfunctional family. SYNOPSIS For Rodolfo (Humberto de Vargas), life at home feels empty and cold, as if he doesn’t belong there. Meanwhile, his first wife Graciela (Sara Bessio) and their teenage daughter, Ana (Anaclara Ferreyra Palfy), are going through defining moments in their lives. Subtly, Rodolfo will try to slip back into the place he once had next to them and walked away from ten years ago. 3 is a comedy about three people condemned to the same, absurd fate: being a family. TRAILER http://www.3pelicula.com http://vimeo.com/37339370 INTERNATIONAL RELEASE 3 will have its international première in the prestigious Director's Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival, on May 21st, 2012. Further information available at the Directors’ Fortnight website: http://www.quinzaine-realisateurs.com DOMESTIC RELEASE 3 was released nationwide in Uruguay on April 20th, opening in theaters in Montevideo, Salto and Paysandú with huge success. Only in Montevideo, 3 had more than 6.000 spectators during its first two weekends. Simultaneously, 3 is being released in a national tour covering fifteen cities across the country through Medio&Medio Films’ itinerant platform, being the first Uruguayan film to be released this way. PRESS QUOTES “Somewhat different to his previous work, a film that shows Stoll as a director and scriptwriter who has the ability to surprise audiences and renew himself” Matías Castro, El País “The three leading actors own their scenes and deliver serious performances. For those skeptical of Humberto de Vargas: he rules” Clara Esmoris, El Observador “A model kit with no instructions on the back of the box, one in which you can see a gentle film or an obscure drama” Agustín Acevedo Kanopa, La Diaria “Grass sods unevenly patched over a grave in a cemetery, plants that are removed from pots into a better place that no one knows why it could be better, the girl’s apathy when masturbating an occasional boyfriend, the father's current partner who is never seen in images, are all subtle observations, of cinematographic wisdom at times (...) Those moments confirm Stoll as one of the most skilled Uruguayan filmmakers today” Manuel Martínez Carril, Brecha MAIN CHARACTERS RODOLFO HUMBERTO DE VARGAS Humberto de Vargas (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1962). Actor, radio and TV host, singer and football narrator, Humberto de Vargas began his artistic career at an early age. In 1977 he won a televised singing contest and almost immediately after became a household name as a regular presence on Canal 10, where he hosted the variety show La revista estelar for more than a decade. His first venture into theater came in 1983, when he joined the cast of a local production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. That performance earned De Vargas a Florencio, Uruguay's most prestigious award for theater productions. A second Florencio came in 2001 for his role as Werner Heisenberg in Michael Frayn's Copenhague. As a film actor he played Jorge in Álvaro Buela's Alma Mater (2005). He has recently been part of the TV series Porque te quiero así and the play Al encuentro de las tres Marías. Currently he hosts the morning show Arriba gente on Canal 10. GRACIELA SARA BESSIO Sara Bessio (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1968). Trained as an actor at the Escuela Municipal de Arte Dramático Margarita Xirgu (EMAD), she earned upon graduation a yearlong working scholarship with the Comedia Nacional, Uruguay's national theater company. Meanwhile, she was a member of La Comuna, an independent company and was directed by prominent names of the uruguayan theater scene in productions such as Doña Ramona, The Cherry Orchard, The Trojan Women, Opiniones de un payaso, Le Loup Garou, King Lear, Ghosts and Esquina peligrosa, among others. She was also part of the theater group Pampinoplas and directed the play Estoy buscando un Saltanubes. In 1994 she starred in La Trampa, a film by Ricardo Islas and Julio Porley. Bessio also appeared in the TV series Curro Jiménez: El regreso de una leyenda and the film El Faro, by Eduardo Mignogna. Since 1992 she has been a body expression and drama teacher. ANA ANACLARA FERREYRA PALFY Anaclara Ferreyra Palfy (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1990). In 2005 she began her acting studies at the Escuela del Actor. That same year she played the leading role in a short film directed by Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll. Since then she has appeared in several shorts while she keeps training as an actor. 3 is her feature-film debut in a leading role. DIRECTOR Pablo Stoll Ward Born in 1974 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Together with Juan Pablo Rebella he scripted and directed 25 Watts (2001) and Whisky (2004). Both films received several international awards and were commercially released worldwide. During 2006 and 2007, Stoll was scriptwriter, director and occasional actor in the news satire show Los Informantes, aired for two seasons on Montevideo’s Channel 4. He has also directed several video clips and short documentaries for television. He is a founding partner at Control Z Films, the production company for his own films and where he has produced also La Perrera (2006), Acné (2008) and Gigante (2009). In 2009 he directed Hiroshima, his first solo feature film, which was chosen for Toronto, Rotterdam, Jeonju, Mar del Plata and Jerusalem among other international film festivals. DIRECTOR'S NOTES “In 2006 we began to write this story with Juan Pablo Rebella and Gonzalo Delgado: a dramatic comedy about the three members of a nuclear, disfunctional family. A kind of bourgeois family, from a middle-class neighborhood in Montevideo. Perhaps what one would call a typical family. Six months later, Juan Pablo decided to put an end to his life. For the next two years, the story of this family was left in a drawer, but it never went out of my head. Eventually, the story made its way out and I wrote it in one go. 3 is a film about egoism and the search of redemption. About coming of age and those moments in life when, even without us noticing, our personality takes shape. It's a story about second chances and the fear they arouse: fear of failure. The balance posed by the family in 3 is unlikely, but possible. A place that may be a bit untrue but nevertheless safe. In 3 the characters are found in a moment of passage, in a constant and rhythmic movement that will lead to a final encounter. The film follows that movement, goes along with the characters and lives those moments with them. This is expressed in sequence shots that unveil each character's environment, which is also marked by a special sound treatment for their particular moments. The music characters listen to defines as well this time of their lives. Ana moves in a spiral from pop to rock, Rodolfo recovers the pleasure of listening to his old vinyl records he had left at his former home, while Graciela finds a new love and a sort of second youth. Like in our other films there is humor and wonder towards the absurdity of quotidian life. There are things not said that are however drained from the empty words of everyday exchanges. There is music and this time some dancing too, that moment when we all make fools of ourselves to the beat of the music.” Pablo Stoll Ward TECHNICAL DETAILS / CREW Title: 3 Country: Uruguay/Argentina/Germany/Chile Year: 2012 Format: 35 mm, color Runtime: 119 minutes A CONTROL Z FILMS production Coproducers: PANDORA FILMPRODUKTION / Christoph Friedel RIZOMA FILMS / Natacha Cervi, Hernán Musaluppi KINÉ / Florencia Larrea With the support of: PROGRAMA IBERMEDIA / ICAU / MVD SOCIO AUDIOVISUAL / FONA / W.I.P.

  • Uruguays Omgang Met Het Verleden 25 Watts En Whisky : Twee Generaties Zonder Toekomst in Zicht ______
    Uruguays omgang met het verleden 25 Watts en Whisky : twee generaties zonder toekomst in zicht ___________________________________________________________ Door Ruby Sanders, 2010 Dit artikel brengt ons naar het zuiden van Latijns-Amerika, naar Uruguay, een onbekend en klein land omgegeven door de giganten Argentinië en Brazilië. De geschiedenis van Uruguay kende een lange bloeitijd die ruw verstoord werd in de jaren zeventig van de vorige eeuw, toen militairen de macht overnamen en het land in een repressief regime stortten dat tot 1985 zou duren. Het land is deze ge- welddadige periode nog steeds niet te boven gekomen, mede door de aanhoudende straffeloosheid en kwakkelende economie sinds het einde van de dictatuur. Een filmindustrie kende Uruguay nauwelijks, tot in de jaren tachtig en negentig van de vorige eeuw voorzichtige pogingen werden gedaan tot het creëren van een nationale cinema. 1 De generatie daarna heeft al behoorlijk wat succes geoogst, met het regisseursduo Juan Pablo Rebella en Pablo Stoll als lichtend voorbeeld voor latere filmmakers. Hun twee producties, 25 Watts (2001, Uruguay) en Whisky (2004, Uruguay), waren zowel binnen Uruguay als op het internationale filmcircuit grote successen. Wat volgens westerse critici vooral de universele aantrekkingskracht was, werd door binnenlandse recensenten direct gezien als onmiskenbare nationale thematiek. In dit paper probeert Ruby Sanders te verklaren wat de twee films dan zo evident Uruguay- aans maakt en wat de rol is van de jongeren die in 25 Watts de hoofdrol spelen. 6.1 25 Watts : relaas van een verloren generatie Zaterdagochtend, zeven uur, Montevideo, Uruguay. Leche (Daniel Hendler), Javi (Jorge Temponi), en Seba (Alfonso Tort) zijn nog steeds op.

  • Uruguay Film Commission & Promotion Office
    La presente recopilación busca reflejar la trayectoria de la ficción uruguaya de los últimos veinticinco años, con el objetivo de ampliar las vías de distribución del cine nacional. Hablar de trayectoria es una forma de mostrar que hay una historia, un camino recorrido que revela, en sus huellas, el significativo reconocimiento internacional que concita nuestro cine. El catálogo reúne mediometrajes y largometrajes realizados desde 1985 hasta marzo de 2010. Para la selección se ha considerado mediometraje a la obra de 30’ y largometraje a la que excede los 60 minutos. Como definición de película nacional se tomó la que establece el artículo 10 de la ley 18.284: aquella que se realice total o parcialmente en el territorio de la República Oriental del Uruguay y en la que la mayoría de los técnicos y artistas intervinientes sean residentes en el país o ciudadanos uruguayos. Para las coproducciones se siguió la definición que establece la ley en el mismo artículo: obras cinematográficas y audiovisuales nacionales realizadas total o parcialmente en el territorio de la República en régimen de coproducción con otros países, que empleen personal técnico y artístico que reúna las características antedichas, en un 20% como mínimo. En el caso de los cortometrajes, el relevamiento no fue exhaustivo; se presenta aquí una selección más restringida integrada por aquellas obras que fueron ampliadas a 35 mm. y/o premiadas en festivales internacionales. The present compilation aims to reflect the path of the Uruguayan fiction of the last twenty five years with the objective to broaden the ways of distribution of the national cinema.

  • Entrevista Con Pablo Stoll
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 28, núms. 1-2 (2018) · ISSN: 2014-668X Entrevista con Pablo Stoll Por DAVID VÁZQUEZ COUTO Universidad de Salamanca Pablo Stoll (Montevideo, 1974) pertenece a una generación de cineastas que surgieron a la luz del nuevo siglo para responder con descaro a la crítica y a la academia que dominaban con su ideología el cine uruguayo. De este modo, y con el propósito de hacer cine pese a todo, este grupo de jóvenes decide desobedecer los imperativos que asfixian la libertad narrativa del cine en Uruguay. Algunos teóricos han bautizado como “Nuevo Cine Uruguayo” al conjunto de películas aparecidas desde entonces para tratar de definir un fenómeno de ruptura con el cine realizado anteriormente dentro de las fronteras del país. Otros, en cambio, afirman que esta historia realmente comienza aquí, pues la producción anterior, si bien cuenta con más de un siglo de historia desde que Félix Oliver registrara con su cámara la Carrera de bicicletas en el velódromo de Arroyo Seco (1898), ha sido siempre excesivamente fragmentada e intermitente, lo que ha creado una historia sin mayor contenido histórico que las circunstancias económicas, sociales y políticas que rodean a sus filmes. Sea como fuere, lo que no se puede negar es que una vez hubo una revolución en esta historia que sigue viva gracias a cineastas como Pablo Stoll quien, tras casi veinte años de trabajo como director, guionista y productor, ha conseguido que el cine uruguayo se curta en un terreno que durante mucho tiempo había permanecido prácticamente estéril. Junto a Juan Pablo Rebella, amigo y compañero, Pablo Stoll escribió y dirigió 25 Watts (2001), película que daría un nuevo rumbo a la cinematografía nacional y con la que conseguirían el Tiger Award en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Rotterdam y el Coral a la mejor ópera prima en el Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano de La Habana.

  • Film (Co)Production in Latin America and European Festivals the Cases of Production Companies Fabula & Control Z MINERVA CAMPOS
    Film (Co)Production in Latin America and European Festivals The Cases of Production Companies Fabula & Control Z MINERVA CAMPOS In the late 1980s, the Rotterdam International Film Festival launched the Hubert Bals Fund with the intention of supporting flms shot in pe- ripheral regions. During these two decades many other festivals have created similar programs and flm producers are increasingly using these funding mechanisms to fnish their flms and, at the same time, achieve exposure on the circuit. In the case of Latin America, which is one of the so-called ‘periph- eral regions’, the Uruguayan production company Control Z Films and the Chilean Fábula are clear examples in this funding circuit that are becoming ‘less and less alternative’. Almost all these companies’ flms have received some fnancial aid from this kind of initiatives. Some of the programs of most relevance in the international context, the ones created around European festivals, are the above mentioned Hubert Bals Fund and the World Cinema Fund launched by the Berlin Inter- national Film Festival in 2004. Cine en Construcción, crucial for the cinema in Latin America since its inception in 2002, is a joint initiative between the San Sebastián International Film Festival and the Recon- tres Cinémas d’Amérique Latine de Toulouse that exhibits selected flm projects in flm sessions for flm professionals.1 One of the key aims of these flm funding models is related to an interest held by some festivals in producing in regions they consider to be peripheral. Despite the fact that cinemas from Africa, Asia or Latin America are still considered to be peripheral, they have been continually present in festivals all over the world for decades (ELENA 1999).
