Juan Bugarín
Overview
Juan Bugarin reveals the fragility and beauty of the creative process behind Puerto Deseado, a film that, like its protagonist, is born from challenge and waiting. He reflects on the art of documentary filmmaking, where patience becomes a deep lesson both for his cinema and his life. The shoot with Rodolfo Wittrick, a veteran of the Falklands War, leads him to explore the boundaries between truth and fiction, between what is visible and what is silenced. As his relationship with the character deepens, Bugarin discovers the importance of listening to silence and surrendering to the unpredictable flow of human encounters. The film, like his own journey, slowly reveals itself, between the tensions of script and reality, emotional weight and ethical challenge.
