OVID’s unmatched collection of films from Chile range over fifty years of the country’s political history, cultural and artistic development, from the early, seminal documentaries of Patricio Guzmán - THE BATTLE OF CHILE – to three more recent feature films by Pablo Larrain, and the complete filmography of a rising star of contemporary Latin American cinema, Dominga Sotomayor. Today’s generation is also represented by the documentary, GOD, made by the MAFI collective and a meditation on religion in today’s Chile. And LEMEBEL and THE JOURNEY OF MONALISA, are thoughtful portraits of transgender writers who push societal boundaries with their work. What all the films here have in common is a willingness to confront Chile's past in order to move forward, with both innovative documentary and dramatic approaches.
