“The cut to culture does not seem like something to celebrate. It is true that entities like INCAA have been functioning very poorly for many years and all responsibility cannot be attributed to the current government,” he said. Gaston Duprat, in a radio report, to El Disparador by Delta.90.3 In the interview, the renowned filmmaker made known his vision about the cultural panorama. “Artists believe they are more important than normal beings, that they are more necessary, that they must be subsidized. “I don’t agree with that, I’m an artist too and I don’t think my profession gives me any superiority,” said the director of “The illustrious citizen” and “The man next door”.

These recent statements coincide with the opinions that Guillermo Francella announced a few days ago. The protagonist of “The one in charge”the streaming platform series Star Plustook a position on the situation and the adjustment measures of the government of Javier Miley. “The measures were more than necessary and we knew that there was going to be major surgery, they said it in the campaign and they strictly complied with it,” said the actor. “My masterpiece” in a report on Radio Miter and concluded: “I continue to hope, I don’t know with what immediacy, that this will be modified in favor of the people. “I don’t lose hope.”

“It seems great to me that Guillermo Francella expresses his opinion and I don’t think the debate about them answering him is bad,” Duprat mentioned in the radio conversation, referring to the responses of Erica Rivas y Esteban Lamothe poured on the actor, and anticipated what is to come “The one in charge”the series that the same filmmaker is responsible for along with Mariano Cohn. “The third season of ‘The one in charge’ It will be the spiciest of all and those who were angry are going to get even angrier,” the director stated with some mischief.

At the time, the series caused some displeasure in union sectors that were suspicious of the character’s performance. by Eliseo Basurto, played by Francella, within the plot. “The goalkeepers union got angry with us for ‘The Manager’, they even called us people from the inner circle of the then president Alberto Fernandez and the director of “INADI”Duprat recalled.

For several years he has been recognized in the duo composed of Gastón Duprat – Mariano Cohn with his own style in Argentine cinema. Since its beginnings on television, more than 20 years ago with “Open Television”, the co-directors carried out a continuous rise in national film productions. Formed in the nineties within the field of video art, the filmmakers always maintained a vision of the art world that they reflected in their films, making its charms and miseries known with certain acidity.

“The illustrious citizen” and “Official competence”, were the films with successful runs at film festivals, with Venice being the one that most highlighted the work of the creative duo. In the 73rd edition of the Venice Festival, Oscar Martinez won the Volpi Cup for best actor for the film released in 2016 and the second film had its world premiere at the 78th edition of the same festival.

Choosing, again, Oscar Martinez as the protagonist, Cohn and Duprat enlist the actor in a new project, but within the streaming series format, which they knew how to exploit with “Anything”. Following that line, which was maintained with the film “My masterpiece”creatives showcase the art circuit and highlight the most extravagant features of the environment. “Fine arts” inserts us into an acidic world, in which art meets a sustainable justification to make known a series of eccentric characters, all involved in an extraordinary and cruel story.

“The Serie ‘Fine arts’ “It is told in the world of modern art, about a man who is chosen to run a museum and has to deal with the egos of artists and unions, and other things that we don’t see when we go to a museum,” described the director of “4×4” and “Dear, I’m going to buy cigarettes and I’ll be back” and concluded: “I like that our series and movies fuel discussion.”

In dialogue with News, Andrés Duprat, Gastón’s brother, third regular member of this brilliant factory, and director of the National museum of fine arts, He explained: “About art, what we criticize in the series is, for example, that a work is worth 50 million dollars. And that’s worth it because there are people willing to pay for it. It seems to me a crazy trait of this world. But art also gives you great possibilities. And we do not believe that they are all stupid, frivolous and snobbish. There are fools, frivolous and snobs, but one day you come across a work that makes your socks fall off, a human expression that overwhelms you.”
