Overview

• Speaking at the avant-premiere of La mujer de la fila, Oreiro said a film’s success is not defined solely by how many people see it.
• She called for commercial hits to coexist with auteur, emerging and first features, highlighting Benjamín Ávila’s work and Infancia clandestina as examples.
• Oreiro rejected turning artistic choices into political labels, arguing that instructing viewers based on ideology underestimates the public.
• Maintaining personal goodwill, she said she will watch Guillermo Francella’s Homo Argentum and will invite him to see her new film.
• Her intervention follows Francella’s claim that some prize-winning films “turn their back on the public,” a controversy that has grown alongside Homo Argentum’s success and renewed debate over state support for cinema.
