El aura
The Aura

Competing for the Altadis-New Directors Award and the Montblanc Award for New Screenwriters.
El aura narrates in first person the hallucinating voyage of an introverted taxidermist with a strange obsession: he has spent his recent years planning and imagining perfect assaults. Far from his city habitat in the distant Southern forests to which he has gone for a day?s hunting, a tragic accident unexpectedly offers him the chance to commit a real crime: to jump an armoured truck carrying the takings from a local casino. Moved by morbid curiosity, and later by an inexorable flow of events, the taxidermist sees himself thrown into his fantasies, piece by piece completing a puzzle irremediably encircling him. And he does it while struggling with his greatest weakness: epilepsy.

Fabián Bielinsky
Buenos Aires, 1959. Graduate in 1983 from the Instituto Nacional de Cinematografía, he has worked for over 15 years as an assistant director in cinema and advertising, among others with Carlos Sorin, Eliseo Subiela and and Marcos Bechis. In 1998, he obtained first prize in the New Talents competition organised by the Patagonik Film Group production company, which allowed him to make his opera prima Nueve reinas, a critically acclaimed box-office success earning him over twenty international awards. El aura is his second feature film.
