Eureka
Take a look in advance
Argentine director Lisandro Alonso creates his own magical-realist reality, with a contemplative role for a Jabiru stork. An imposing, graceful creature, whose gray-black neck and ditto beak make for a wondrous spectacle. In Eureka, after Jauja (2014), director Lisandro Alonso is collaborating for the second time with actor Viggo Mortensen (most recently seen in The Dead Don't Hurt). The latter brought Alonso into contact with the inhabitants of the Pineridge reservation in South Dakota, where much of the film was shot.

Argentine director Lisandro Alonso creates his own magical-realist reality, with a contemplative role for a Jabiru stork. An imposing, graceful creature, whose gray-black neck and ditto beak make for a wondrous spectacle.

The latter brought Alonso into contact with the inhabitants of the Pineridge reservation in South Dakota, where much of the film was shot.
Lisandro Alonso's very first film was La libertad (2001). Since that debut, he has become one of the most important players in the new Argentine cinema. Eureka is his sixth, barely classifiable film. Film Festival Ghent beautifully described the film: 'As if John Ford, David Lynch and Apichatpong Weerasethakul were shooting a film together and then Lisandro Alonso took it from there.' Alonso combines his unique vision with poetry and philosophy in a film in which non-professional actors perform alongside celebrities such as Viggo Mortensen, Chiara Mastroianni and Maria Medeiros. Eureka had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
