The renowned actress Graciela Borges surprised her followers by closing her Twitter account after expressing her feelings about the Argentine film industry. Remembering her experience with the iconic Negro Favio in the movie "El Dependiente", she mentioned the struggle to find funding for projects she considers valuable. Borges, in an emotional tribute for her career at the Martín Fierro Awards of Cinema, emphasized the passion for making movies beyond box office numbers.
In her words, the actress shared: "It always seems that we are speculating about making the big movie that brings in a lot of people, and no, sometimes we talk about the unknown and it gives us pleasure." This reflection was supported by colleagues at the event, highlighting the value of telling authentic and original stories in Argentine cinema.
Borges, who has worked since she was young in the industry, had to gather resources to carry out film projects, demonstrating her commitment and effort to materialize her ideas on the big screen. In response to criticism received on social media, the actress preferred to step away from the Twitter platform to avoid negative comments.
In a conciliatory tone, Graciela Borges asked for the freedom to create without external impositions: "Don't tell us how we have to make movies, we know how to do it." Her message aims to assert the creativity and autonomy of Argentine filmmakers, urging to value the cultural and artistic contribution of the film industry in the country.
