Documentary Teaser

Buenos Aires City (OF REPAIR)

The short film is a 10-minutes documentary that explores the cultural and communal significance of clothing repair shops in Buenos Aires. These shops are more than mere businesses; they are vital community centres that uphold traditional skills and foster a deep sense of belonging and interconnectedness among locals. Drawing from Emmanuel Levinas' philosophy of otherness and interconnectedness, the film reveals how these repair shops contribute to sustainability and the preservation of cultural heritage.
