Emptiness is a visually striking experimental documentary that explores the complex intersections between body, power, and faith. Through a sequence of dense, symbolic compositions, the film unfolds as a thunderous meditation on the abuses of capital and the collapse of language. Mercado constructs a stark visual and sonic architecture where medicine and religion appear as intertwined systems of biopower—structures that discipline, sanctify, and ultimately exhaust the body. Minimal yet overwhelming, Emptiness confronts the spectator with the material presence of the “body-thing,” situating the human form at the center of a critical reflection on control, belief, and emptiness itself.

A powerful Argentine political film stands on the figure of an outsider intellectual, Sebreli, but manages to transcend it, he becomes a touchstone to go through Argentina and its dilemmas, through this country that is proud of almost everything it should be ashamed of. From national icons like Gardel, Evita, Che, and Maradona the film dialogs with recent Argentine history and it does so with extraordinary energy, supported by a rarely seen use of all kinds of archive material in an almost Dionysian state of sampleadelia. The film arrives to a surprising reflection on nationalism, demagogic governments and delusions of unanimity; problems that are common to emerging societies that cannot find their ways to a freer and more egalitarian society.
