Patricio Guzmán

After the acclaimed Nostalgia for the Light (Nostalgia de la luz, 2010), with its study of the desert, the stars, light and time, as well as the recent memory and remains of disappeared people in North Chile under Pinochet, Patricio Guzmán takes us on a journey into the water and ocean of Southern Chile. The sea holds all the voices of the earth and those that come from outer space.

Guzmán-renowned for The Battle of Chile and a career dedicated to the aftermath of the 1973 coup d'état-returns to documentary to explore the 2019 Chilean uprisings for social equality. Using harrowing front-line protest footage, My Imaginary Country links Chile's complex history to contemporary, global social movements.
