TITLE

A film by Robert Flaherty, in the Pampas, Shot by Sergei Eisenstein, for Victoria Ocampo, behind Waldo Frank's Back

SUMMARY

Victoria Ocampo meets Sergei Eisenstein in New York, in 1930. He is on his way to Hollywood where he plans to make a film and she is there to meet Waldo Frank and discuss the project of the journal Sur. Ocampo invites the filmmaker to come to Argentina make a film about the pampas. The aim of this article is to reconstruct the relationship between the writer and the filmmaker in order to support the hypothesis that we might identify some traces of that project in the film Eisenstein engages with when his trip to Argentina fails: ¡Que viva México!.
