Cheques Matta
Editor
"Cheques Matta" are works of small format, similar to an American check that the painter Roberto Matta sent by mail to his friends with financial problems during the first years of the Military Dictatorship in Chile. Establishing new paradigms, making us question the true function of art as an instrument of social transformation.
Mocha Dick: La ballena mapuche
Editor
The sea chronicles speak of Mocha Dick, the Mapuche whale that lived on the coasts of southern Chile and that would have served as a source of inspiration for Herman Melville to write "Moby Dick", the character of his most famous novel

Los náufragos
Assistant Editor
After 20 years of exile, Aron returns to Chile to find out who he is. He asks questions, not only of those who stayed behind but also of himself, examining his relationship with his past and his own memory. The people who stayed lived through 20 years of dictatorship. They were either victims or executioners. Amidst this wreckage, Aron wonders what name his brother is using now, where his father is... Can he, in Isol's arms and through her love, find his way again ? What future awaits him? Like Mola the torturer, he has returned from an impossible journey, and Aron knows that each man is his own executioner. Shipwreck and resurrection are the two facets of a complex truth.
La Frontera
Assistant Editor

Although he gets his freedom he doesn't leave and when the water rises, Maite and her father die, and Ramiro flees to the hills.
Caluga o Menta
Assistant Editor
Niki and his friends are members of the marginalised underclass living on the outskirts of Santiago. During Chile's transition from dictatorship to democracy (1988-1990), they forge a path from drug- and drink-fuelled nihilism and petty crime into the world of market-driven illegality and Niki begins a seemingly predestined relationship with the middle-class "loca", Manuela. Memorable episodes and characters, quotable dialogue and a mix of earthy national portrait and surrealistic flourish make this one of the key Chilean films of the Nineties.
