MIXTAPE LA PAMPA

This is the cinematic diary of an extended trip through the landscapes of the pampas, tracking the footsteps of the enigmatic figure of William Henry Hudson, aka Guillermo Enrique Hudson. Hudson was an Argentine gaucho in the 19^th century, who left his native pampas to become a celebrated English writer and naturalist. He wrote obsessively about his homeland but never returned. A series of encounters with eccentric local personalities allows us to explore the psychogeography of a territory steeped in symbolism.
