Chilean cinema was almost nonexistant during the repressive rule of Augusto Pinochet. But since the ’90s, a new generation of filmmakers have revived a film industry still dealing with the lasting trauma of everyday violence. Join filmmaker Alvaro Ceppi as he explores Chile’s cinematic landscape from the capital city of Santiago to the port city of Valparaíso, and from nearby Tunquen to Isla Negra, the home of poet Pablo Neruda.
