A film by Federico León and Marcos Martínez
(Argentina, 2007, 64 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

In Federico León and Marcos Martínez’s poignant documentary feature Stars (Estrellas), reality and fiction meet in a shantytown in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, where a group of residents have found professional careers playing poor people in film and television productions. A humorous and self-reflective meditation on the ways the movie industry represents poverty and on self-management as a method of creation and survival.
