This March, we’re delighted to present the New York Premiere of Flavia Furtado’s TESOROS, a documentary about flea markets in South America. In her dreamy tour through Chile, Brazil, and Argentina’s flea markets, Furtado pieces together a tender portrait of Latin American street vendors that doubles as a biting critique of capitalist culture. The filmmaker’s striking bricolage—a blend of street interviews, personal anecdotes, and urban legends—provides an illuminating glimpse at an undervalued corner of the Latin American economy.
Flavia Furtado is a Brazilian-Chilean filmmaker and DJ. Her films have shown at Anthology Film Archives and New York’s Experimental Film Society. More recently, she was selected to participate in Berlinale Talents.
Special thanks to Flavia Furtado, Kevin Gonzalez, Steve Macfarlane and Sylvie Shamlian.
