ABOUT THE FILM
The first documentary by acclaimed Argentine director Lucrecia Martel and winner of the 2025 London Film Festival’s Best Film award, Landmarks follows a 14-year research process into the 2009 murder of Indigenous Chuchagasta leader Javier Chocobar in Tucumán, Argentina, connecting it to centuries of colonial land dispossession.

Theo Panagopoulos is a Greek-Lebanese-Palestinian filmmaker, film programmer, educator and researcher based in Glasgow. His creative and academic work investigates themes of collective memory, displacement, fragmented identities, and resistance often through anti-colonial, participatory, and archival methodologies. He recently completed a PhD at the University of the West of Scotland exploring anti-colonial methodologies, film and performance as counternarrative to recently digitised Scottish film archives of 1930s Palestine and his most recent film called “The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing” explored archives of Palestinian flowers through colonial power dynamics of film and land, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and was nominated for a BAFTA award in 2025.
