BUENOS AIRES GREEN FILM FESTIVAL 25 to 31 August 2011 This is the second edition of the GREEN FILM FESTIVAL Buenos Aires. Argentina has quite a big movie industry and a long tradition in this field. In its golden heydays of the 50s the Argentinean film industry competed with Italy and France.
NIGHTLIFE, ARTS & LEISURE IN BUENOS AIRES 22nd to 28th of August 2011 MONDAY August 22nd National Holiday Today we remember and honor Don Jose de San Martin who fought for the independence of Argentina, Chile and Peru. There are no events today. I suggest you rest or go visit this American hero at The Cathedral.
In square dance or in a disco you need to walk up to someone and ask them to dance. If get rejected is very obvious to everybody around you. You came back to your table empty handed. In Tango you can get rejected by all the girls and still nobody knows. The method is as follows: 1-make eye contact with your prospective partner 2-move your head to the side with a gentle swing 3-the woman can proceed in two ways: a) She stands up and walks towards the dance floor and meets you halfway. There you introduce yourself, take her hand and await the music to start. b) She acts like she did not see you…period. No messy rejection. No walk of shame. You just turn around and look for another pair of eyes to practice your “cabeceo”.It is sweet!! All the activities are free and open to everybody. Great opportunity to take up Tango, with the best instructors of Buenos Aires. I hope to see you guys “cabeceando” and you ladies stretching your hand out to them in the milongas of Buenos Aires. No rejections please! It is only a dance, plus, always remember, ¨It takes two to Tango”!!!

This is the third edition of “Proyecto Circular”. The idea is to go against the tendency of only local porteños having access to the art galleries of Buenos Aires. The artists were found using the internet and the social networks. You could say it is a federal initiative.The goal is the enrichment of the data base of Argentine artists and updating it in each edition.

His pieces are inspired by his observations on intensive use of space. He links primal memories with temporality. His trademark is the illusion of movement.
Climate Buenos Aires My Australians were freezing. I had spoken to them at least three times before they travelled and checked into their apartment and I did think we’d discussed climate or temperature. Still, they were coming from the Southern hemisphere and so I would automatically assume that they knew it was winter in Buenos Aires and our ‘cockles were being frozen’ by an Antarctic weather front.

Argentina is the host nation for the Copa America, the continental championship for national teams, which usually comes down to Argentina and Brazil fighting it out. The championship is 95 years old _ the oldest for national teams _ and ranks in prestige just behind the World Cup and the European championship.
