La Película Infinita ("The Endless Film" or "The Infinite Film") is a 2018 Argentinian experimental documentary film directed by Leandro Listorti, his first feature-length work.
Summary.
"La Película Infinita" is a film essay featuring an assemblage of never completed films from the 1950s onwards from archives of a Buenos Aires film museum (for which the director is also curator), presenting an alternate parallel history of film and tracing a national cinema that never was invoking the ghosts of the country's dictatorial past.

Release.
It was released in Argentina on August 2, 2018 where it grossed $190.
Reception.
A review compared this assemblage of films to the "Frankenstein's method". Another review found the film was failed and "mechanical". A more appreciative assessment can be found at "Desistfilm": "It is likely that everything lost at some point can have a second life, from the words that were not said to the images that were not filmed, "La Película Infinita" is just a sample of that videolibrary of Babel that is hidden somewhere and where all the lost cinema is kept; and we need more Listortis and Bill Morrisons that know how to show them before our eyes."
