Canyon Cinema is pleased to announce that new exhibition files of Leandro Katz‘s Splits and El Día Que Me Quieras are now available for rent. These high-resolution digital scans replace the previous files that were in distribution.

Splits (1978, 27 minutes, color, sound, digital file)

The story of a young factory worker who in an act of revenge decides to kill her deceiving boss who was also her father’s former partner, believing that his deceit lead her father to prison, humiliation and death. Based on “Emma Zunz” by Jorge Luis Borges.

El Día Que Me Quieras (The Day You’ll Love Me) (1997, 30 minutes, color, sound, digital file or DCP)

A non-narrative film investigating death and the power of photography, El Día Que Me Quieras is a meditation on the last pictures taken of Ernesto Che Guevara, as he lay dead on a table surrounded by his captors, in Bolivia in 1967. Not a political documentary in the traditional sense, the film alternates between evocation and straight reportage, centering on an interview with the Bolivian photographer Freddy Alborta. Suffused with a sense of mystery, El Día Que Me Quieras is about our assimilation of history.
