Argentina’s film industry groups pull out of Mar del Plata film festival
Several professional film associations have announced that they will not participate in the upcoming Mar del Plata International Film Festival as an act of protest against the Argentine government’s policies and management of the National Film and Audiovisual Arts Institute (INCAA). The decision means this year’s festival will not have juries traditionally responsible for presenting awards in a range of categories. The Federation consists of ASA (Argentine Association of Audiovisual Sound Engineers), ADF (Argentine Cinematographic Photography Authors), AADA (Argentine Association of Audiovisual Art Directors), EDA (Argentine Association of Audiovisual Editors) and SAE (Argentine Society of Audiovisual Editors). Earlier this year, the government officially suspended INCAA’s operational funding and laid off scores within the institution. “Our productions and our sources of work are no longer in danger — they are under attack.”

Scaloneta injury crisis: can Argentina's lineup survive five players down?
The Argentine men’s national football team may be in trouble ahead of its World Cup Qualifier commitments in October. So what’s next, and how can he keep Argentina’s blistering pace at the qualifiers — six wins from eight games so far — going? Second there’s 19-year-old Facundo Buonanotte, who has already played for the men’s national team, debuting in a friendly against Indonesia in June 2023. The left-footed striker inherited Ángel Di María’s role as a winger after he retired from the national team González’s absence raises questions for the upcoming international fixtures. Come match day, he’ll likely start on the left, while either Soler or Lisandro Martínez can provide backup on the left side.

Milei administration to appeal to judiciary if Congress overturns veto on university spending
The Milei administration will appeal to the judiciary if Congress votes to overturn the president’s veto on legislation for new university funding, Economic Minister Luis Caputo confirmed on Sunday. President Javier Milei has promised to veto any and all legislation that might adversely affect Argentina’s fiscal deficit. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the cost of the university spending bill amounts to just 0.14% of Argentina’s gross domestic product. Last year, the Economic Ministry submitted a report to Congress that found that “tax expenditures,” or benefits for specific sectors, amounted to 2.49% of GDP. The reality will be irrefutable.”On Wednesday, thousands of students and public university staffers across the country took to the streets to protest the government’s latest budget cuts.

No tercera for now: Argentina football team out of Paris 2024
The Argentine men’s Olympic football team lost 1-0 against France in the quarter finals of Paris 2024, meaning the Albiceleste will have to wait another four years for its third Olympic gold medal. The game was set to be a high-tension affair, following Argentina’s win against France in the 2022 Qatar final. More recently, the French Football Federation sued its Argentine counterpart after videos emerged of the team singing racist chants about French players during the celebrations after winning the 2024 Copa América. With the lead, France dropped deeper and Argentina started to see more of the ball, but inaccuracy in the final third denied them opportunities to score. In the second half, France withdrew even deeper, allowing Argentina plenty of time on the ball.
