Chili, la memoria obstinada

Patricio Guzman
1997 France 52 minutes Spanish

Patricio Guzman filmed the Battle of Chile in 1974 and then, as many of his fellow countrymen, was forced into exile. Twenty-Years later, he returns to his camera to try and understand how and to what extent the amnesia imposed by Pinochet has succeeded in destroying the memory and energy of a people. ‘I feel a great solitude’, he wrote during the reckoning in the grey city of Santagio
