ABOUT THIRTY / ARTURO A LOS 30
A film by Martin Shanly
(Argentina, 2023, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
Q&A with director Martín Shanly and actress Camila Dougall

One of the “best undistributed films of 2023” (Film Comment) and winner of the Best Argentine Director and Audience Awards at the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival (BAFICI), the second feature by Argentine director Martín Shanly is a witty comedy of errors that tells the story of Arturo (played by the director himself). He attends the wedding of his former best friend, but on the way between the church and the party, he is involved in a bizarre car accident from which he manages to escape unscathed. From that moment on, a series of memories begin to unfold in the form of flashbacks that involve the most significant events and people of his recent times. As he proceeds to intoxicate himself with alcohol and pot, the past and the present merge in an uncomfortable and humorous way, forcing him to confront delayed griefs as well as the darkest aspects of his personality.
