Filme, o Registro Vivo de Nossa Memória
Self
Por que ainda somos capazes, hoje, de assistir a imagens que foram capturadas há mais de 125 anos? À medida que entramos na era digital, o patrimônio audiovisual parece ser um fato seguro e óbvio. No entanto, muito do cinema e da nossa história filmada já se perdeu para sempre. Arquivistas, técnicos e cineastas de diferentes partes do mundo explicam o que é a preservação audiovisual e contam o porquê ela é necessária. O documentário é uma homenagem a todos esses profissionais e ao seu importante trabalho.
My Imaginary Country
Self
“Outubro de 2019, uma revolução inesperada, uma explosão social. Um milhão e meio de pessoas manifestaram-se nas ruas de Santiago por mais democracia, uma vida mais digna, uma melhor educação, um melhor sistema de saúde e uma nova Constituição. O Chile tinha recuperado sua memória. O acontecimento de que eu estava à espera desde as minhas lutas estudantis em 1973 e que finalmente se materializou.” Patricio Guzmán

Nas Asas da Pan Am
Himself
O filme é uma autobiografia do diretor Silvio Tendler, que completou 70 anos, e uma análise dos avanços e retrocessos do mundo que cerca o artista. O documentário retrata o jovem que viveu em autoexílio no Chile, nos anos 1970, onde vivenciou o sonho do socialismo com liberdade; que estudou cinema em Paris; esteve em Portugal na Revolução dos Cravos; e voltou ao Brasil, na época em que o país começava o processo de redemocratização. Tendler também esteve em Cuba, na União Soviética e na Alemanha durante a Guerra Fria, registrando mundos que não existem mais.
The Cordillera of Dreams
Screenplay
No Chile, quando o sol nasce, tem de subir colinas e montes até atingir o topo da Cordilheira dos Andes. No Chile, a cordilheira é tudo. Mas para os cidadãos chilenos, é um território desconhecido. Depois de ter ido para Norte em Nostalgia da Luz e para Sul em O Botão de Nácar, Guzmán quis filmar de perto esta imensa coluna vertebral para explorar os seus mistérios, revelando poderosas informações da história do passado e do presente chileno.

O Botão de Pérola
Editor
O oceano contém a história de toda a humanidade. No mar estão as vozes da Terra e de todo o espaço. A água, fronteira mais longa do Chile, também esconde o segredo de dois misteriosos botões encontrados no fundo do mar. Com mais de 4 mil km de costa e o maior arquipélago do mundo, o Chile apresenta uma paisagem sobrenatural, com vulcões, montanhas e glaciares. Nessa paisagem estão as vozes da população indígena da Patagônia, dos primeiros navegadores ingleses que chegaram ao país, e também a voz dos presos políticos chilenos. Alguns dizem que a água tem memória. Este filme mostra que ela também tem voz.

María Teresa e a Anã Marrom
Director
María Teresa é uma mulher notável que pratica três atividades aparentemente opostas. Por um lado ela é astrônoma (Prêmio Nacional de Artes), responsável pela descoberta da primeira Anã Marrom, mas ao mesmo tempo é colecionadora de pedras preciosas encontradas no mar (ágatas, aqueles cristais luminosos que trazem as ondas do oceano), além de se dedicar à tapeçaria. É também professora, ensaísta e diretora do Observatório da Universidade do Chile. Este documentário, que reúne um material não incluído em "Nostalgia da Luz", apresenta-nos mais uma personalidade da astronomia chilena que nos revela sua paixão pela vida e pelos detalhes que a formam.

Chile, uma Galáxia de Problemas
Director
In 2008 Patricio Guzmán carried out a survey to find out the "state of historical memory" in Santiago. To do this, it brings together a small number of historians, psychologists, economists, engineers, lawyers and other members of the Chilean elite. It is a documentary in the form of a report that directly shows the opinions of each participant (including Juan Emilio Cheyre, former commander-in-chief of the armed forces). As expected, the result is controversial.
Capturing Reality
Himself
From cinema-verite; pioneers Albert Maysles and Joan Churchill to maverick movie makers like Errol Morris, Werner Herzog and Nick Broomfield, the world's best documentarians reflect upon the unique power of their genre. Capturing Reality explores the complex creative process that goes into making non-fiction films. Deftly charting the documentarian's journey, it poses the question: can film capture reality?

The Pinochet Case
Director
True story of the saga that was hoped to be the long-awaited justice brought to bear upon Augosto Pinochet, Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990. In September 1998, Pinochet flew to London on a pleasure trip but experienced back pain and underwent an operation in the London Clinic. Upon waking, he was arrested by Scotland Yard. Could it be that this was to become the first Latin American dictator to answer for crimes while serving as Head of State? After 500 days of house arrest, he nevertheless eventually returned unscathed to Chile, despite the compelling case built against him before & during this period by a young Spanish prosecutor, Carlos Castresana.

A passionate fan of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe as a 13-year-old boy, Guzmán was delighted to find in his adult years that the story is based on actual events & a real place in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 700 kilometres from the Chilean coast. This moves him to film & construct a kind of ironic travel journal as he sets out to rediscover the island, all the while in constant play with the fields of history, literature & imagination.
