Thank you! /// THE FILM /// Film: Gaucho Gaucho Directors: Michael Dweck & Gregory Kershaw Synopsis: Gaucho Gaucho paints an Argentinian Western with image and sound that reach an operatic beauty. Acclaimed photographers and now three-time Sundance-fêted filmmakers Gregory Kershaw and Michael Dweck return with another striking nonfiction work after first taking audiences to the final stock car racetrack of Long Island with The Last Race and the secret corners of the Italian countryside in search of white truffles with The Truffle Hunters. Their focus is now on the vast mountains of Argentina, expressed in stunning black-and-white photography, and a small community of gauchos who hold profound connections to the surrounding nature and their own traditions. As older generations dispense their wisdom, the film keeps its eye toward a new generation who continue to fight for their families’ legacy in a modern world. Press: “Gaucho Gaucho is exquisitely crafted, with sumptuous black-and-white cinematography, camera angles framed askew, and eye-catching slo-mo sequences. Not to mention an operatic -- at times literally -- score.” - IndieWire Awards and Honors: 2024 Sundance Film Festival 2025 Winner ASC Award | Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Documentary /// ABOUT OFS /// Founded in 1988, the mission of the Ojai Film Society (OFS) is to present quality independent, foreign, documentary, and classic films to the Ojai Valley, outdoors, in community for FREE.
