“Media Buenos Aires was created at the beginning of the 90's by the following group of videomakers from Buenos Aires: Andres Di Telia, Fabian Hofman, Diego Lascano, Boy Olmi, Carlos Trilnick, Eduardo Milewicz, and Maria Civale. Media is the first and unique creative video distributor in Argentina. It keeps a policy of exchange with institutions promoting video creation in Latin America, and also keeps direct contact with videomakers of the continent. Its bilingual catalogue offers a selection of titles made by the most important videoartists of Argentina. In Argentina, the importance of video as a language is growing without creating a specific style. Some videomakers, at the very beginning, try to explore the electronic characteristics of the support working with video as a unique medium. Others see video as an economic alternative. With the cinema industry fading in the so-called Third World, some people choose video exclusively because it is an audiovisual alternative. Argentine video is concerned a lot with the manifold possibilities of narration and expression. Therefore documentaries, videoart, fiction intended as cinema, videographics, computerized works are all crossed by the Argentine video. Images in movement, audiovisual language is what we do when we finally choose an Electronic Eye to draw our thoughts to. ” Maria C. Civale / Eduardo Milewicz
