How can cinema respond to uprising and transformation, capturing the complexities of social and environmental change? From the mass protests that sparked Santiago’s streets to the landscapes of Puchuncaví facing extraction, these two films embrace the dissonance of fragmented realities, resisting any singular narrative and instead reflecting the complex, multifaceted struggles that define contemporary Chile.
Oasis
(Tamara Uribe, Felipe Morgado, Chile, 2024, 80 min, Original version with English subtitles)
A work of collective filmmaking that pulses with the immediacy of the Chilean uprising in 2019, weaving together footage shot by many hands. The uncertainty, energy, and contradictions of a society in the wake of uprising are shown through different perspectives—Indigenous, feminist, militant, anarchist or conservative—who come together in the fight for a new constitution.
Puchuncaví
(Jeannette Muñoz, 2021, 30 min, Original version with English subtitles)
A quiet, observational lens assembles fragments of a landscape burdened by industry and extraction. The Mapuche name for this place, meaning “where fiestas abound,” contrasts with its present-day reality—an environment shaped by copper refineries, pollution, and displacement. Muñoz allows images to accumulate like sediment, revealing the silent weight of history carried by the land itself.
