Tango Silent Films

Produced, written, and directed by Joseph Leonardo

ABOUT

Tango Silent Films is a Portland-based film project dedicated to creating a series of short films inspired by traditional Argentine tango music. The films are short (7-10 minutes) and modeled after classic silent films, but with pepperings of modernity. They feature a motley cast of recurring characters who traipse through the Tango Silent Film world having adventures of love, ego and tango that are at once absurd and humorous, poignant, farcical and realistic, frivolous and profound.
​
The company was launched in December of 2009 by Joseph Leonardo, and has grown into an enthusiastic team of cast and crew members, drawn entirely from the Argentine tango community of Portland, Oregon. Besides making you laugh and sigh, Tango Silent Films aims to create an outlet for these untapped talents, and to pay homage: to film, to tango, and to the sweet communities, large and small, that cohere for tango all over the world.
