The Simple Line of Liniers
film screening
Winter 2007. Two artists from Argentina receive a grant to develop
their work in Montreal (Canada). The only catch? They have to share an
apartment. In this way filmmaker Franca González and cartoonist Ricardo Siri Liniers
come to know each other. Liniers is famous for his daily drawings in
the newspaper La Nación under the name of Macanundo. From the moment
González becomes the roommate of Liniers, a friendship emerges between
them and she makes him the proposal of doing a documentary about him.
The film starts with an argument to get Linier’s permission to chase him with videocameras and ends up becoming one of the most tender portraits ever done of the artist, reflecting the transcendence that ensues from the simple line of his drawings.
ICNY is delighted to host the film’s premier and its protagonists, who will hold a Q&A with the audience after the screening.
