We bring stories...
We bring stories from the end of the world We come from a narrow country between the mountain range and the sea. This tight and diverse geography, which begins in the Atacama desert and ends in the southern glaciers, defines a multiplicity of landscapes, points of view and stories, which we share today with you. Unique stories for a global audience. From this place to the end of the world, we have built an industry around the audiovisual sector that is increasingly strong and seeks to extend ties to the rest of the continent and the world. The Chilean documentary production has been stabilized, continues to grow and is professionally improving. This is the result of collaborative work between the audiovisual community and essential institutions such as the National Council for the Culture and the Arts, through the Chilean Council for the Arts and Audiovisual Industry, and ProChile. It is thanks to them that today we are in IDFA 2016. We take this opportunity to greet its director, Ally Derks, for her powerful management during all these years at the head of this festival, which has constituted one of the fundamental doors of access to the international industry for many directors and producers in Chile. With the support of IDFA, many young Chilean filmmakers have embarked on a successful path. Today we are grateful for this support and congratulations to Ally for putting documentary among the top at a global level. We invite you to enjoy three Chilean films in the official selection: The grown-ups, Resurrecting Hassan and El patio; to know more about our cinematography in Docs for Sale; and to share with the 14 Chilean delegates at GMG and Fiesta Latina.

Official Selection Feature-Length Documentary We bring stories... Los Niños The grown ups A group of friends with Down Syndrome have attended the same school for over 40 years, and they don t want to continue complying with school obligations. Most of their parents are dead, and none of them thought their kids would outlive them. They always believed that when their parents died, they would be able to do those things they weren t allowed to do before, like living on their own, having sex, being parents, getting married, and having a real job. But things are not changing for them, and they have to deal with the frustration of living as if they were still ten-years-old, although they are almost fifty.

Official Selection First Appearance...from the end of the world Resucitando a Hassan Resurrecting Hassan The Hartings are blind. There s father Denis, who has a passion for music; mother Peggy, who dreams of a new life; and daughter Lauviah, who is navigating the gap between childhood and adulthood. All three sing in the Montreal metro, and all are haunted by an absence: Hassan, the young son and only sighted member of the family, who died tragically a few years ago. But they are filled with hope and courage when they listen to a Russian mystic s teachings on resurrection. Carlo Guillermo Proto has made an intense but unsensational film that follows a uniquely endearing family, deeply torn between insight, guilt and mysticism. Haunted by a sometimes-difficult past, they pursue their quest for serenity at all costs.

El Patio El Patio In the General Cemetery of Santiago, Chile, the gravediggers accomplish their daily work, preparing the funerals, welcoming the families, taking care of the graves decorated with flowers. This is a city within a city. A serene park, where the gravediggers have learnt to cohabit peacefully alongside death. Yet, the wounds of 1973 are still present. For several months, during the dark times of Pinochet s dictatorship, Lelo, Perejil and Rogelio were obliged to secretly bury hundreds of NN (unidentified corpses) and the families of these victims are still waiting for DNA identifications and demanding justice. As time closes in on them, Lelo, Perejil and Rogelio have decided to share their memories for the first time with Sergio, the youngest gravedigger of the cemetery.

Finished Films We bring stories... Ya no basta con marchar Not enough with protest Not enough with protest is a documentary film that portrays the history of Chilean student movement of 2011, the year in which the national conflict for education explodes. During this period there was a redefinition of how social protest was understood in Chile, where students raised new forms of mobilization, performing different urban interventions related to the arts. The social protest of this period takes place from the side of culture, so that through painting, dance and performance, this group of students renewed social protest. A giant flag travels by different places inside and outside the country, or students who run 1800 hours around La Moneda, are some of the activities that support and mark a turning point in the forms of manifestation by the educational demands in Chile. 2016 71 min HD Chile Director: Hernán Saavedra Executive producer: Pilar Díaz kitralproducciones@gmail.com
