The 100 Greatest Films of Argentine Cinema

In the 2022 list, Leonardo Favio was the director with the greatest presence among the top 100 films, with eight titles.[1]

The 100 Greatest Films of Argentine Cinema (Spanish: Las 100 mejores películas del cine argentino), also known as the Survey of Argentine cinema (Spanish: Encuesta de cine argentino), are a series of opinion polls carried out to establish a list of the greatest films of Argentine cinema of all time. The original survey was carried out by the Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken in the years 1977, 1984, 1991 and 2000.[1] In 2022, a new edition was held, organized by the film magazines La vida útil, Taipei and La tierra quema, with support from INCAA, the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, the FestiFreak International Film Festival of La Plata, the Casa de la Cultura of General Roca and the Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken.[2]

In the 1977 and 1984 lists, Prisioneros de la tierra (1939) by Mario Soffici reached first place, while Crónica de un niño solo (1965) by Leonardo Favio was the most voted in 2000.[3] In the 2022 survey, the first place went to La Ciénaga (2001) by Lucrecia Martel by a wide margin.[4][5] The 2022 list generated debate regarding the need for a national Cinematheque (a longtime demand of the local film community), since the difficult or non-existent access to many works from the past greatly affected the result.[1][6]
