The list of fantastic, mythical animals compiled by Carl Linnaeus in his seminal 18th century work Systema Naturae could well be the seed of Niles Atallah’s Animalia Paradoxa – an eccentric tale set in a post-apocalyptic world that follows a strange creature struggling to survive. Dressed in rags and a gas mask, moving like an alien dancer, Animalia roams through an abandoned building – crawling and stretching across concrete, plastic, waste. She laboriously carries and fills up an array of empty bottles to enjoy a modest bath. The camera eye lingers on her with compassion and explores the architectures of trash at an agonising pace. We know in our hearts that Animalia is a human-amphibian longing for the sea…

Several reels of film are buried in a forest in sourthern Chile. Ten years later the films are unearthed from the soil and projected. Ghosts have appeared on the surface of the decaying celulloid, they are the protagonists of Niles Atallah's earlier feature films "Lucia" and "Rey". The fictional characters have returned to haunt the images, peering through the layers of earth, as if interested in us, the spectators who watch them. Who is looking at who? Why have these characters returned? What do they want? The film is a secret code written by the earth itself.

Pedro Lemebel, the writer and visual artist, defeated a marginal childhood to become one of the first to shake up Chile’s conservative society during Pinochet’s dictatorship. Dressed in feather boas, stilettos and a sharp tongue, he staged revolutionary performances that defied the era’s terror, he said what no one wanted to hear in a homophobic, repressed and militarized country.

독일계 사이비 종교의 광신도들로부터 탈출한 마리아는 은신처로 몸을 피신한다. 그렇지만 기이하게도 은신처마저도 마리아의 감정에 긍정적이지 않은 방식으로 작동하기 시작한다. 이곳에서의 일들은 어느새 악몽으로 바뀌어 버린다.

Screenplay
옛날 어느 한 여행자가 세상의 끝에 다다랐다. 독립한지 얼마 지나지 않은 그 곳, 남미의 끝 언저리에서 그 여행자는 자신만의 왕국을 세웠다. 이 이야기는 1860년대의, '오를리 앙투완 드 투낭'이란 한 미친 프랑스 탐험가의 실화이다. 스스로 헌법을 만들고 국가를 건설한 그는 원주민들을 통합하여 통치자로 선출된다. 실존했으나 허구같은 한 개척자의 이야기. (2017년 제21회 부천국제판타스틱영화제)

In his travels through the southern sea of Chile, the privateer Francis Drake discovered a strange island. The extraordinary events that he lived there described in his travel diary have disappeared just like the island.

Self
Just like in 1985, today Ignacio Agüero is back interrupting filmmakers during shooting, but not to ask what he did thirty years ago, but to find out what is purely cinematographic in what they film. These conversations are related to images in the director's personal archive, as if what is truly cinematographic was found among bits that were never made for the screen.

Blind and deaf people converse, question, surprise and educate each others. Fingers move about quickly, translation follows promptly, both visible and audible, hands get touched and squeezed, and out of their tactfulness, sentences, stories, reserve and emotions arise
A group of people gather for a family reunion in a house on an isolated island. They are waiting for the last person to join them, but as the evening arrives and he doesn’t arrive, a strange anxiety overwhelms them. The group dismantles and the family members wander away from the house separately, confronting the sea and an unspoken fear that slowly consumes them.
