(WWS)
with screenings of:
Chile, Obstinate Memory
(Patricio Guzmán, 1997, Chile, 58 minutes, sub-titled)
Patricio Guzmán's landmark film The Battle of Chile documented
the events leading up to the 1973 coup headed by General Augusto
Pinochet against the elected Socialist government of Salvador
Allende. Guzmán returned to his homeland in 1996 to show The
Battle of Chile there for the first time, and to explore how
those Chileans who lived through the Allende years and the
aftermath of the coup remember that period in their nation's
history.
and
Children of the Cold War - Los Chicos de la Guerra Fria
(Gonzalo Justiniano, 1985, Chile, 75 minutes, sub-titled)
This darkly satirical film centers on the tale of "two reserved
and lonely office employees [who] meet and fall in love. While
violence threatens to destroy their fragile happiness, they
begin living their "love story" a la dime-store romance style.
Their illusions fade as their romance is thwarted by the reality
of repression that is everywhere and in everything." — Latin
American Video Archive
The Latin American Cinema Series is organized by graduate
students affiliated with PLAS
