<h4>Discover the legacy of Paloma Efron, Argentina’s jazz and broadcasting pioneer. Join us for a free documentary screening and exclusive Q&amp;A with director Alberto Ponce at ICANA’s Biblioteca Centro Lincoln.</h4>

An iconic jazz singer. A pioneer in radio and television production. A remarkable figure who transformed Argentine culture and whose legacy lives on to this day.We invite you to discover the many lives of Paloma Efron through a special screening of the 2012 biographical documentary Blackie: una vida en blanco y negro (Blackie: Life in Black and White). Hosted at ICANA’s Biblioteca Centro Lincoln 📚, this evening will celebrate the life of a woman whose creative vision was truly ahead of her time.About the Documentary &amp; The Legacy of "Blackie" Paloma Efron, universally known as "Blackie," was one of the most prominent and trailblazing Argentine women of the 20th century. While celebrated for her foundational contributions to Argentine television and radio, fewer know about her fascinating early days. After studying in the United States and mingling with jazz legends like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, she brought a completely new cultural rhythm back to Argentina.Directed by Alberto Ponce, this 107-minute documentary beautifully reconstructs her extensive 50-year career. The film uses a highly creative narrative structure: blending rich archival footage with dramatized interviews, featuring acclaimed actress Dora Baret as the reimagined voice of Blackie. The result is a vivid portrait of her life, evoked through her greatest skill—the art of conversation.
