THE CORDILLERA OF DREAMS

THE CORDILLERA OF DREAMS (LA CORDILLÈRE DES SONGES), 2019
Chile, France | HDD, Color, 84’ | Spanish
Director: Patricio Guzmán

The third and most personal film in the trilogy is about the vast Andes Mountains (Cordillera in native language) that surround Chile like a wall. The documentary juxtaposes the director’s feelings and memories about Cordillera as an intellectual who couldn’t return to his country for many years with the natural and political destruction the mountains witnessed; and Pablo Salas’s archival imagery strives to understand the soul of Chile with its captivating imagery and poetic narrative.
