Chile’s cinema remains the least internationally known of Latin America’s major cinemas. Often overshadowed by the historically larger and more widely distributed cinemas of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, the rich history of Chilean filmmaking has also been obscured, paradoxically, by the long history of political documentary to which Chilean cinema is all too often reduced. This program gathers key works from the 1968 period to the early 2000s—many of them largely unseen in the US and some only recently rediscovered—to offer an alternate history of Chilean cinema that traces the dialogue between historical and contemporary cinema and gives special emphasis to overlooked films and filmmakers.
