Promo Trailer for ‘Nuestra Tierra’ aka ‘Landmarks’ Doc from Argentina

“The Argentinian State trained me to do that.” The Match Factory has revealed a festival promo trailer for a documentary film called Landmarks, also known as Nuestra Tierra (which translates to Our Earth). This just premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival and will be screening at tons of other festivals this fall: San Sebastian, Toronto, New York, Vancouver, and London soon. In 2009, a man & two accomplices try to evict members of the Indigenous community of Chuschagasta in northern Argentina. Claiming ownership of the land & armed with guns, they kill the community’s leader, Javier Chocobar. The murder is caught on video. It takes nine years of protests before court proceedings are finally opened in 2018 – director Lucrecia Martel started filming in order to make this doc. During all this time, the killers have remained free. The film combines the voices and photographs of the community with vérité courtroom footage to explore the long history of colonialism & land dispossession that led up to this crime. A fly on the wall doc that captures the lawsuit and realities of trying to get real justice in a broken world. It is still seeking proper distribution. // Continue Reading ›
