Cinema in Chile

Ever since backpacking around South America several years ago I have developed a curiosity for Latin American cinema - both as a way of seeing the people and landscape portrayed, and also to know more about the culture. It’s been difficult to source films from the region - but those that have garnered enough international interest to get distribution have general been well worth watching.

Now that I am living in Chile my focus has turned to the homegrown cinema. Sadly, film production virtually ceased completely during the 16 years of Pinochet’s dictatorship (1973-1989), but more recently the industry has shown a lot of promise.

Here’s a list of those I have crossed off so far - I'll add more as they become available.

    I've never thought about watching Chilean cinema but, you know, I'll take the cue from this list and give this country a chance ;D

    Hidden in the Woods was a bit of an endurance test. But a lot better was Aftershock by Nicolas Lopez. I don't know how Chilean it is, but it was filmed there with a lot of locals working on it.
