A documentary about the desire to get closer to oneself through the embrace with a stranger.

Five young dancers dive into the sensual world of Tango, far from its Argentinian homeland – in the Black Forest. All are single. All submit to the erotic spell of the passionate and melancholic dance. All seek to be joined as one with the ideal partner, and to be admired as well as desired for their beauty, elegance and perfection. All are addicted to the kick, getting high through the embrace of strangers.

The eroticism is staged, but the proximity is real. The perfect tango face masks inner conflict. How does a dancer negotiate the fragile border between playing a rigid gender role and actually becoming that role? “Tango on a Visit” explores the tensions between artifice and reality in this unique subculture. The film’s protagonists represent various aspects of this struggle. Ruben is happy about the clear gender roles, while Susanna would like to have more gender equality. Christian enjoys the ephemeral contacts with women, but Helena, is looking for real encounters. Joscha, in turn, is unconcerned about human relations on the dance floor. He wants to make tango his profession, to make money.

“Tango on a Visit” is an affectionate and at times comedic portal into a subculture that is every bit as brutal as it is beautiful. The tango scene is ruled by a small class of hard core Tangoistas. Wannabes are viewed with arrogance and contempt by the accomplished dancers who practiced years to get where they are and to earn admission into their special society. Nothing is worse than being stuck on the dance floor with a stumbling fool, risking being brought down to the incompetent’s level, while attempting to maintain the dignity and elegance of one’s perfected Tango persona. No one wants to miss out on the dizzying, eroticized kick that a great dance brings, but which is only possible with a partner of equal mastery. At the same time, the arrogance sends a signal for those unworthy dancers to keep away. Is the pain worth it for a great dancer – an “unapproachable one” – returning home alone, after the music has fallen silent?

Happy or unhappy? A round of Milonga leads us through the whole love drama from the fresh desire to the wistful farewell pain. After this Tango film, you know why five young people are lonely together in a highly aesthetic and touching way.

Last Chance Tango :: Short Film Project :: A film about a man who meets the twin of his deceased wife and tries to connect with her by learning tango together

From Sonja Strathern's Kickstarter page:

A film about a man who meets the twin of his deceased wife and tries to connect with her by learning tango together.


Do you have a dance story? Everyone who learns to dance Argentine tango has a backstory. It usually involves an introduction, maybe like falling in love, and then the hard part involving years of work, like a long term relationship. Those who dance Argentine tango often invest in a life-long learning of technique. Tango is danced in an 'embrace' and fulfills a spectrum of emotional needs as well as being social and fun.


I wrote this story about Daniel, a man dealing with a tragedy, who is just keeping it all together in his life. At an event, he sees a woman named Sarah, who strongly resembles his deceased wife. Miraculously, Daniel and Sarah discover she and his wife were twins, adopted to different families. When they see a tango performance, Daniel asks Sarah to learn tango with him, hoping to connect with her and win her love. But things don't always turn out as planned. Will he get his last chance? Tango is not as easy as he thought.


I drew upon personal experience as a tango dancer, with the generosity and help of my local tango community in Eastern Iowa. I began learning tango ten years go in Houston, Texas, and asked my former teacher, Joan Bishop to be my actress to play herself. She volunteered her time and made the visit in February during one of our worst Iowan winters.

What's In Your Heart? :: Portland Tango Festival Promo Video :: October 11-15, 2018

Will you let tango sweep you across Portland like Nancy and Chris did? We know we will! Watch this teaser for Portland Tango Festival 2018. You won't regret it! We can't wait to see you all in a just a couple of months. For more information go to www.portlandtangofest.com.

We would like to thank Nancy & Chris for participating in this video, Oliver for the beautiful voice over,TriMet for allowing us to use them, and Alex Krebs for letting us use his beautiful song Ella Es Asi feat. Enrique El Peru Chavez by The Alex Krebs Tango Sextet. Lastly, we would like to extend our appreciation to Bassel Hamieh for producing all of our videos. We can't wait to show you the rest!

The narrator says "We are a city that recognizes your individuality and inspires what is already in your heart." Obviously referring to the city of Portland.

I'll extrapolate that over to tango, and re-word it.

"What's in your heart?" Obvious/common words, not-so-common wording. Loaded with meaning.

In a different time and place and context, Jypsy JedEye said "tango is a wonderful forum to explore and cultivate mutual respect, freedom, communication, pleasure, compassion, forgiveness, grace, grace, generosity, empathy, subtlety, gentleness, and passion".

Indeed.

What's in your heart?

Buscandote :: Short Film by Juan Francisco Otaño

Looks like I sent the lyrics from my phone or ipad back in February of 2016 and never got the blog post built...

"BUSCANDOTE" un cortometraje de Juan Francisco Otaño from Francisco otaño on Vimeo.

Dedicado a todos los que buscan con fervor algo en la vida. y cuando se encuentran con ello todo sucede mágicamente.

Written by Lalo Scalise, recorded in 1941 Osvaldo Fresedo/Ricardo Ruiz...

Lyrics translation by Derrick del Pilar

Searching for You
lyrics by Eduardo Scalise

Wandering…
with the fatigue of my endless ambling,
the bitter sadness of being alone,
enormously anxious to arrive.

Perhaps you know…
that I have gone through life searching for you,
that I shattered my dreams without meaning to,
that I left them at some crossroads.

I sped up my steps,
in hopes of seeing you,
I strung together long roads,
I covered leagues and leagues.

After I have had a chance to rest
in your arms,
if you prefer I will leave again
by the road I took yesterday…

Buscandote

Vagar...

Con el cansancio de mi eterno andar,

Tristeza amarga de la soledad

Ansias enormes de llegar.

 

Sabrás...

Que por la vida fui buscándote,

Que mis ensueños sin querer vencí

Que en algún cruce los dejé.

 

Mi andar apresuré

Con la esperanza de encontrarte a ti,

Largos caminos hilvané

Leguas y leguas recorrí por ti.

 

Después que entre tus brazos

Pueda descansar,

Si lo prefieres volveré a marchar

Por mi camino de ayer.

 

Letra y música : Eduardo Scalise  (Eduardo Scalise Regard)

 

Grabado por la orquesta de Osvaldo Fresedo con la voz de Ricardo Ruiz.

Nice Tango Videos :: Tango, A Message from the Concrete Jungle (2013)

So on Vimeo (which I like better than YouTube, because it's more film-maker-ey and artsy-fartsy) there are lots of people trying their hands at amateur shorts and such, as well as pros. People wanting to tell a tango story using video as their medium. Tons and tons. So many that it would be difficult/impossible to sift and parse through all of them. There almost needs to be an TangoIMDB of all of the best. Feature length films with tango elements in them (very few), documentaries (more), and shorts, probably in the thousands.

Anyway, just blathering.

Here's a nice one.

Oppose Tango

A find from Rigoberto of the West...someone's short for a contest...it's a short, but I would hesitate to call it a short film...maybe a multi-media short...

Corto de animación For a Tango de Gabrielle Zuchelli

The only critique I would offer is that there seems to be a historical disconnect between the scenes in the animation and the news headlines and the soundtrack - maybe not - I don't have the time nor inclination to do the research.

I'll bite my tongue about the historical veracity of the knife fight, the fedoras and the dandy clothing. Those are my personal opinions anyway so I'll keep them to myself. This time.

Otherwise, I like it. The animation sequences are good. They are obviously done by someone, or with extensive input from someone who understands/dances tango.

Directions the Body Gives ::: Tango Short Film

Short documentary actually. A film by Marie-Jo Mont-Reynaud and Johanna Sophie Santos Bassetti for a documentary production class as Stanford University.

For the record.
