La Vorágine(2015)

Valparaiso(fr)

In 1962 Joris Ivens was invited to Chile for teaching and filmmaking. Together with students he made …A Valparaíso, one of his most poetic films. Contrasting the prestigious history of the seaport with the present the film sketches a portrait of the city, built on 42 hills, with its wealth and poverty, its daily life on the streets, the stairs, the rack railways and in the bars. Although the port has lost its importance, the rich past is still present in the impoverished city. The film echoes this ambiguous situation in its dialectical poetic style, interweaving the daily life reality (of 1963) with the history of the city and changing from black and white to colour, finally leaving us with hopeful perspective for the children who are playing on the stairs and hills of this beautiful town.

El mar se mueve en una espiral(es)

Photographic and sound story, through the encounter of characters with their stories of a time without end.

Fair(es)

Buyers, sellers, people wandering. Toys and jewelry. Tools and cosmetics. Transactions and shouting. A wandering camera lost in the crowd contemplates the passing of a day at the fair on Avenida Argentina in Valparaíso.

Buenos Aires al Pacífico(es)

There was once, in 1910, a train able to cross the wild territories between Argentina and Chile, making possible a mythical journey, joining two oceans with a single ticket, from Buenos Aires to Valparaiso. The last trip of the BAP was in 1979; in the nineties, its various branches were permanently abandoned. Since then, travelers have been inhabiting the railway landscape as they dream, desire, remember or yearn: as part of their own being and national history.

Go to the Top of the Hill(es)

Through unpublished archives and the voices of its inhabitants, Ándate a la punta del cerro reconstructs the living memory of a community that has stood strong in the face of abandonment. From its founding roots in the 1970s, through the communal soup kitchens of the pandemic, to the current perspective of Luisa Maraboli, a symbol of female leadership, the documentary weaves a choral portrait of identity, territory, and self-management. More than a local story, it is a declaration of existence: at the top of the hill, people not only survive, they create, love, and start over.

Urbanites - You Can't Rewind The Years(en)

When you listen to The Years, the debut studio recording from Urbanites, you're hearing a band in progress. They wanted to make The Years differently, and decided to record the album together, live, in the same space - Studio A of Electrical Audio in Chicago, Illinois. With the exception of limited overdubs, (vocals, drum ensembles and laptop atmospherics) each song represented one collective take, warmly captured to two inch analogue tape. This recording method embraced the mistake as much as the moment. They also chose to document the making of the record with a film, appropriately titled, 'You Can't Rewind The Years'. With a new understanding and years of progress to come, these longtime friends are making the music that they'd always hoped to. As they sing, in The Years' standout track Restless, "Not without trial, not without err - this brokenness is ours to share."

Mario Lanza: The Best of Everything(en)

Before Elvis and The Beatles - there was Mario Lanza. Trained for a career in opera, Lanza became the first true crossover artist when MGM made him a matinee idol during the 1950's with box office hits such as 'The Toast of New Orleans' and 'The Great Caruso'. With his unique blend of both classical and popular music, Lanza's recordings of 'The Loveliest Night of the Year', 'Beloved' and his signature ballad, 'Be My Love' sold in their millions. But within 10 years, the star that glowed so brightly burned itself out - and Lanza's sudden death in 1959 at the age of 38 was the first tragic death of the modern pop and rock era.
