A tour de force around South America and especially Chile. Chilean cinema has a long history with visionary masters like Raúl Ruiz and Alejandro Jodorowski and a great vibrant life with the new generation of filmmakers, Pablo Larrain, (Neruda (2016) and No (2012), Patricio Guzmán and Andrés Wood (Machuca (2004)).

We selected a new entry, a wonderful director, Marcela Said and her latest film, Los Perros (2017), presented at Cannes Film festival. A blasting study of the past Chilean dictatorship through the eyes of a high-octane female protagonist. Followed by a true experience of Chilean music and regional cuisine.
