A Certain Regard (Spanish: Una cierta mirada) is a 2005 Argentine documentary film directed by Eduardo Montes-Bradley. The film centers on Juan José Sebreli, an influential Argentine sociologist, essayist, and public intellectual. A co-founder of the Frente de Liberación Homosexual (Gay Liberation Front) in Argentina, Sebreli narrates his life and ideas in a reflective monologue that interweaves cultural critique with personal history.[1]
The documentary was produced with support from Argentina's Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales (INCAA) and the Fondo Nacional de las Artes, and has been screened at film festivals and on public television. It is included in academic collections and is used in Latin American studies curricula. The film is catalogued by WorldCat[2] and is available through distributors including Alexander Street Press.[3]

Raised in a working-class family in the Constitución neighborhood, Sebreli revisits the physical and ideological transformations of the city and its people.[4][5]
