Toward the end of Twin Peaks Part 5 on Showtime, there is a short establishing shot of Buenos Aires, Argentina. As it turns out, this scene has a minor connection to the exterior establishing shot of Diane Evans’ apartment.
Like Diane’s apartment footage in Twin Peaks Part 7, this establishing shot is stock footage. I found the footage on July 8, 2017 after searching on Getty Images for a match.
With such a short amount of footage, I assumed the production team didn’t send a crew to Argentina. It would be more cost effective to use the stock footage ($575 versus way more money to send a crew).
CAVORT captured this royalty free footage which was described as “Aerial view of Obelisk de Buenos Aires Argentina.”
