518    Originally produced by First Run Features in 2011. 
520    La Recoleta Cemetery rests in the heart of one of Buenos 
       Aires' swankiest neighborhoods. A city-within-a-city, it 
       is an inward-facing place with its own interior geography.
       Like the Père-Lachaise graveyard in France, La Recoleta is
       the final resting place for key figures of its nation's 
       history: statesmen and poets, founding fathers and 
       oppositional voices. And with Argentina's history so 
       fraught with unrest, this relationship between the 
       necropolis, the city and the nation proves fascinating 
       ground for Nicolás Prividera's new film. The grounds are 
       laid out like city blocks, with wide avenues branching 
       onto lanes filled with elaborate mausoleums. The film does
       not attempt to tour the cemetery as one would on foot, 
       however, but rather moves chronologically through the 
       history enshrined there. A series of individuals read 
       aloud excerpts from the writings of noteworthy Argentines 
       interred within. Revealed are civil wars, battles with the
       country's native population, conflict between the city and
       the provinces, and years of military dictatorship. The 
       readings are intercut with sequences of daily life in 
       Recoleta, including the cemetery's custodians, whose work 
       amid the tombs alludes to the ongoing construction of the 
       nation's history. Prividera has a striking sense of 
       composition. He is highly attentive to contrasts between 
       light and shadow, immovable stone and the passing signs of
       human presence, and the looming skyline of Buenos Aires 
       over the cemetery's walls. Fatherland could stand on the 
       strength of its images alone. However, its astonishing 
       historical juxtapositions and the moving articulations of 
       living Argentine citizens elevate the film's significance 
       to another plane entirely. [Excerpts from the TIFF
