If you’re a cinephile or just looking for a nostalgic experience, you might want to head to the Constitution train station in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Starting on August 5th, the station will be projecting the classic Argentine film, “Argentina, 1985.”
Directed by Carlos Saura, the movie is a musical drama that follows one performer’s life in tango from his youth in the 1930s to his new relationship with a young woman amid societal upheavals in the ’80s. The film is praised for its score, cinematography, and intimate portrayal of tango.
It’s noteworthy that this projection is part of the city’s efforts to make the railway stations more culturally relevant. The Constitución station has been chosen because it is an important reference and meeting point for residents, as well as providing a connection between central Argentina and its southern regions. This initiative aims to enrich travelers’ experiences by creating an immersive atmosphere with cinema spread across the station.
The success of this transformative approach is expected to create an increase in visitors and bolster local businesses. It is an aesthetic and practical way to breathe new life into an essential program that connects communities.
In short, this is yet another example of how creativity, culture, and community involvement can make something typically mundane like train travel into a vibrant and exciting experience.
