El otro | The Other | Der Andere by Ariel Rotter
ARG/FRA 2007, Competition
At the outset of his new life, and, now convinced that anything is possible, he finds himself caught up in an adventure amidst the wilds of untamed nature. He rediscovers his senses, begins to trust his natural instincts and tries to explore all the opportunities that life has in store for him. But this is by no means all there is to it.
In Ariel Rotter's words: "Over the years, I believe that all of my films have been about the same subject. From my first short films to EL OTRO, I am always aware of the time allotted to us in life, and the question of what we do with this time preoccupies me."

Vincenzo Bugno
For Vincenzo Bugno, moderating the press conference for El Otro was probably a dual pleasure. Ariel Rotter's film also came as a recognition for the Berlinale's World Cinema Fund (WCF), which is co-managed by Bugno and which funded El Otro in an early production stage.
