Vlasta, el recuerdo no es eterno

When she made her first film in 1960, Vlasta Lah was the only woman to direct a sound feature film in Argentina. Her path was arduous and long: from her childhood in a country torn apart by war to her training at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, to her arrival in Argentina fleeing another war, where she became the most important assistant director at Estudios San Miguel. Through her personal correspondence and a meticulous investigation, her name will be rescued from oblivion.

Directed by Candela Vey, Tino Pereira, Vlasta, el recuerdo no es eterno leans on a strong ensemble — Tino Pereira, Candela Vey, Fernando Martín Peña — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2025.
