Paseo
Sergio Castro San Martín
Gabriela Aguilera, Roberto Farías
A single mother decides to go on a trip from Santiago to the north of Chile with her only son. They are going to meet up with the child's father, a Chilean coalminer, after ten years of separation. The trip is plagued by silence, as the uneasy relationship between mother and son evolves and secrets of the past are brought to the surface, in this poignant tale of broken family ties, where what is left unsaid may carry more meaning than anything spoken.
The Walk
Electrodomésticos: El frío misterio
Sergio Castro San Martín
Carlos Cabezas, Silvio Paredes
In the Chile of the 1980s any attempt at innovative artistic expression was shunned, but a young underground movement decided to omit these prohibitions. Electrodomésticos was the band that leaded this resistance, more occupied with bringing the repressed Chile closer with new artistic tendencies of the world than to adhere to a specific political discourse. Within this context, at the beginning of the 1980s artists Silvio Paredes and Ernesto Medina begin experimenting with sounds as inventive as running blenders, Casiotones and recordings from local radio stations. In 1984, they meet an air traffic controller of common interest, Carlos Cabezas, with whom they form a band so groundbreaking it sounded like nothing ever done before.
