Filming in Argentina

Iga Mikler · September 16, 2009

Hi!

Im a Swedish filmstudent going to Argentina to shoot our final project, a short film on 35mm. I have never been to Argentina nor do i speak spanish. Does anyone know of where i could get hold of a 2 perf 35mm camera in Buenos aires or nearby and grip and lighting equipment? And a Lab where i could develop the film? And also english speaking crew?

Grateful for all info.

thanks.

Perhaps you can try asking in one of the appropriate forums. ;)

Hi Iga (or Mikler?), I´m Guido from Buenos Aires. I can give you all the data you need. A good place to get the gear you wish to rent is Alfavision, you can check equipment and price list in their web page. I may introduce you to the place, they know me well. There´s a bigger one, Camaras y Luces (actually the 4th or 5th rental house in the world for its size!) but probably more expensive; there are also a few smaller rental houses, you may try AJAF and Handgrip.

There are two labs: Cinecolor (the big one) and Stagnaro (the small one), both can provide transfer too.

Send more details on when are you coming, what crew do you need, etc. and I give you more info. You may PM me if you wish, it´s OK for me.

Guido
