Mikael Wahlforss

The Finnish designer Henrik Wahlforss had a flourishing career in industrial design and innovation in the 1970s. In 1980, he decided, however, to leave his career to write a book. Not any book; he wanted to write his prediction about the future, which became for him a life-long project. Combining archive material, interviews, and dramatizations, the film Tidresenären brings the viewer closer to Wahlforss’s fascinating life and predictions.

The Banished is a documentary film by Visa Koiso-Kanttila.

Stalag is an abbreviated term from the German “Stammlager”, which referred to a field of military prisoners of war during World War II. In Guatemala, almost forty years later, the term Stalag acquires a new dimension. The model villages were spaces in the Guatemalan rural areas where they forced thousands of civilians, previously terrorized by government brutality led by Ríos Montt. Likewise, the Civil Self-Defense Patrols (PAC), a paramilitary apparatus still in force in Guatemala, marked the last detachment in the damaged social fabric of Guatemala. As in Headline Today: Guatemala and in Armored Daydreams, Mikael Wahlforss presents us in Stalag Guatemala the testimonies of victims and perpetrators without makeup and without distortion of the facts. The anecdotes of one and the other flow across the screen transporting the viewer to that Guatemala in which men, women and children are indifferently victims and witnesses of state repression.

Dos periodistas estadounidenses —Allan Nairn y Jean-Marie Simon— exploran el conflicto armado interno de Guatemala en 1982. Tras la llegada al poder del general Efraín Ríos Montt, en los grandes medios de comunicación estadounidense publicitan la imagen de Ríos Montt como la de un “cristiano nacido de nuevo” con la misión de pacificar a Guatemala. El Gobierno republicano de Ronald Reagan le oculta a los estadounidenses la ayuda bélica que su administración le continúa proporcionando al ejército guatemalteco, a pesar de la prohibición explícita del congreso. Los medios internacionales silencian las dimensiones de la guerra en Guatemala, mientas Ríos Montt dirige a lo largo de 18 meses la mayor cantidad de atrocidades y violaciones a los derechos humanos en contra de la población civil.
