Argentina’s Tamae Garateguy, Sant Giralt, Camila Toker Reunite on ‘Upa! A Spring In Athens,’ a Gleefully Defiant Feature Selected to Open Bafici

variety.com:

Holly Jones Argentine multi-hyphenates Tamae Garateguy (“Auxilio”), Sant Giralt (“Before Opening Night”) and Camila Toker (“La danza del impacto”) reunite to debut the fourth installment of their sardonic and timely Upa!

Saga, “Upa! A Spring in Athens” (“Upa! Una primavera en Atenas”), its world premiere set to open the 26th edition of the Buenos Aires International Independent Film Festival (Bafici), running April 1-13.

Produced by Giralt and Fede Carol’s Los Griegos Films and Garateguy, Giralt and Toker’s upafilms alongside associate producer Hildegunn Wærness — who reprises the role of exotic ingénue Hilde, the project offers a satirical look at the independent film circuit.

Full of acerbic hedonism, reverie and tragedy, the narrative sinks into a universe the trio concocted that spans decades and sees them embody their on-screen alter-egos, Ailén, Nina and Pina, who wind through the minutiae of the industry, one let-down at a time — no trope left unexamined, no ego left unscathed, no bastion of indie cinema left out of sly mentions.
