Los deseos concebidos
Cristián Sánchez
Andrés Aliaga, Andrés Quintana
Erre, a teenager that lives with his uncle, his aunt and an almost absent sister, is erased from the roster on his school. From then on, he just wanders in places where the strange is barely hidden under an imitation of the ordinary.
Los deseos concebidos
Días de campo
Raúl Ruiz
Marcial Edwards, Mario Montilles
In a bar in Santiago, two old men talk over their past. This is a strange discussion. In fact, they talk of themselves as if they were dead. We don't know what is true or false, what is dream or reality.
Days in the Country
¡Qué hacer!
Raúl Ruiz, Saul Landau
Sandra Archer, Aníbal Reyna
Mordant, self-aware, freighted with sensitivity toward Chile’s problem, wary of caricature, disposed toward consciousness of human fallibility, it is a deft blend of fiction and documentary set in the tumultuous days leading up to the election of Salvador Allende in 1970.

La luna en el espejo

The Moon in the Mirror
La colonia penal
Raúl Ruiz
Mónica Echeverría, Luis Alarcón
A foreign journalist arrives on a small Pacific island 200 miles off the coast of South America. Once a leper colony, the island was later transformed into a prison and then, under U.N. mandate, made into an independent republic. Yet despite democratic structures, the inhabitants--who speak a strange dialect composed of Spanish and English--still obey the old prison rules. After sending back detailed accounts of the torture and repression seen everywhere, the journalist realizes that she has fallen into the trap created for her by the islanders: lacking natural resources, the island's main export is news.

During Chilean dictatorship an exceptional group of women emerges and they will leave a unique legacy in history. It's the "Women for Life" movement. Female figures almost forgotten that in times of military dictatorship, when few dared to go out into the street, they organized by calling thousands of women who courageously manage to make art actions and lightning and unprecedented acts for the time.
