Cinema Tropical at 25: Silvia Prieto

On her 27th birthday, Silvia Prieto decides to change her life only to spiral into an identity crisis when she discovers other women share her name. Buoyed by quick wit and a pop-infused eye for consumer culture, Silvia embarks on a wry, screwball-inspired quest for self-definition. This hilariously absurd deadpan comedy, written and directed by Latin American cinema trailblazer Martín Rejtman, became a landmark of New Argentine Cinema, inspiring a wave of filmmakers with its signature minimalism. To celebrate Cinema Tropical’s 25th anniversary, Silvia Prieto—the very first film screened by the organization—returns to New York, this time in dazzling 4K.
