40 YEARS ON: THE NARRATION OF CHILEAN RESISTANCE AND EXILE IN CINEMA

Sep 11, 2013

September 11, 1973 is the day Chile’s democratic government was overthrown by a brutal and bloody CIA-backed military dictatorship led by General Augusto Pinochet. The events of this day and the aftermath not only profoundly changed a country, but also changed the course of individual lives, mine among them.

Forty years on, the investigation and interpretation of what actually happened in Chile has triggered a large body of cinema into existence around the world. While the essential elements of what happened are largely now without dispute, immersed within the core truths that surround this history, however, are a myriad of smaller and lesser known stories and perspectives – incredibly complex and telling of human nature, many still in the process of rising to public consciousness. – Cecilia Araneda, Curator
