Border, by Paola Castillo; The women of my house, by Valentina Reyes, and My Imaginary Country, by Patricio Guzmán enter the face-to-face billboard.
Centro Arte Alameda invites you to the program that it has prepared for the first fortnight of August in its Constituent Film Series. This month will have three major premieres that touch on different themes: Identity, Original Peoples and Gender Perspective.
From August 4 will be exhibited Frontera (2022), a documentary directed by Paola Castillo and awarded at the Valdivia International Film Festival in 2020, which shows the reality of Juan Carlos Curiano, a lonko who has fought in defense of Mapuche autonomy. Many question him because he agreed to work for the government in order to improve conditions in his community. In his home he shares his worries, while his animals observe how the tension grows and the seasons of the year advance. The film projects the drama that he must face due to the tensions between the Mapuche themselves and the counter-insurgency, revising cultures of native peoples and the State. Plurinational.
From Sunday, August 7, The women of my house (2022) will enter the billboard. The film, written and directed by Valentina Reyes shows a family made up of three generations of women, who live and coexist with their different processes and stages of life in an old house in Ñuñoa. On the one hand, Leonor must decide her future. On the other hand, Monica decides to sell the house in which they have lived all their lives. And finally, Emilia must face Alzheimer’s, causing this family to transform, dissolve and unite around the same space.
From August 11, the latest production of the outstanding national director Patricio Guzmán will be exhibited at Centro Arte Alameda: my imaginary country (2022), a documentary that invites you to reflect on Human Rights and Identity. “October 2019: an unexpected revolution, a social upheaval. A million and a half people demonstrated in the streets of Santiago demanding more democracy, a better life, a better education and health system and a new Constitution. Chile had recovered the memory… What I had hoped for since my student struggles in 1973 had finally come true”, commented the director.
