One of Argentina's most influential contemporary filmmakers, Matías Piñeiro has distinguished himself by intertwining classical literature and the urban daily lives of young adults in his country, exploring the tensions between desire and loneliness. Renowned for his free adaptations of Shakespeare — collected under the title Las Shakespeariadas — the Argentine filmmaker creates films in which the interplay between words and gestures becomes a space for invention and freedom. With his latest film, Tú me abrasas (2024), Piñeiro expands his universe to new literary references, continuing to explore the boundaries between theater, literature, and cinema with formal and affective curiosity.
A regular presence at some of the most important international festivals, he has established himself as one of the most inventive voices of his generation, with a practice characterized by distinctive language and playful energy.
At Batalha, we present a selection of Piñeiro's works, accompanying the launch of the first book dedicated to the filmmaker, co-published with Fireflies Press, and a masterclass.
Program developed in collaboration with Garbiñe Ortega.
