What's it all about? The winner of the 2010 Oscar for best foreign film, The Secret in Their Eyes is directed by Juan Jose Campanella and stars Ricardo Darin (Nine Queens) as Benjamin Esposito, a recently retired criminal court investigator, whose efforts to write a novel are frustrated when he finds himself unable to shake the memories of a 25-year-old murder case. After visiting his ex-superior Irene (Soledad Villamil), who's now a high court judge, Benjamin decides to reinvestigate the case and we flash back to his first view of the crime scene, where a beautiful young woman was raped and murdered. As Benjamin attempts to recall the details of the case, the various events unfold, from the questioning of the victim's troubled husband (Pablo Rago) to the discovery and arrest of a probable suspect (Javier Godino), only for the authorities to subsequently let him go for nefarious purposes of their own.

Like our Northwest Film & Video Festival, which celebrates the unique visions of artists in our community, PIFF seeks to engage, educate, entertain and challenge. We invite you to explore and celebrate not only the art of film, but also the world around you. It is said that film is a universal language—able to transcend geographic, political and cultural boundaries in a singular fashion. In the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous observation, “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler who is foreign,” this year’s films allow us to discover what unites rather than what divides. The Festival also unites our community, bringing together culturally diverse audiences, a remarkable cross-section of cinematic voices, public and private funders of the arts, corporate sponsors and global film industry members. This fabulous ecology makes the event possible, and we wish our credits at the back of the program could better convey our deep appreci- ation of all who help make the Festival happen.

  • Affect, Spectacle, and Horror in Pablo Larraín's Post Mortem
    chapter 13 Affect, Spectacle, and Horror in Pablo Larraín’s Post Mortem (2010) Rosa Tapia Abstract Post Mortem by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín challenges traditional cinematic con- ventions of affect and spectacle through a narrative of spaces and bodies that is neither realist, comedic, nor melodramatic. This chapter draws upon affect theories that study the spectacle of cinematic spaces and political bodies in Latin American film. The pro- tagonist of Larraín’s film is an inconsequential morgue clerk who transcribed the details of Salvador Allende’s autopsy after the president’s death in the 11th September 1973 coup d’état. Post Mortem intentionally abstains from an explicit political commentary or sen- timental release. The plot and cinematic technique combine to paint an uncomfortably naked image of evil, without guilt-ridden or heroic characters. The systematic disloca- tion, defamiliarization, and desecration of spaces sacralized by the collective memory allows Larraín’s film to trespass the affective boundaries of political melodrama. Spaces that should have been familiar appear eerily distant and strange, morphing into dystop- ic versions of themselves as hospitals become morgues and body dumpsters, city streets turn into empty battlefields, and homes are now targets, prisons, or tombs. Chile has produced relatively few films about its seventeen- year dictatorship (1973– 1990). Unlike the many blockbusters that filmmakers from Spain and Argentina have dedicated to their own civil conflicts and dictatorships, most Chilean films on the subject have had limited viewership, with the notable exceptions of Andrés Wood’s Machuca (2004) and Pablo Larraín’s No (2012).1 Unsurprisingly, a comparison of audience size shows that more theatergoers 1 Barraza Toledo states that from 2003 to 2013 there were only a handful of Chilean films that depicted or focused on the Pinochet era.

  • Reviewing the Present in Pablo Larraín's Historical Cinema*
    Reviewing the Present in Pablo Larraín’s Historical Cinema* Vania Barraza Toledo University of Memphis, USA Abstract: Pablo Larraín’s film trilogy about the Chilean dictatorshipexplores the contra- dictions of memory haunting contemporary society, establishing a dialogue between a present and a dreadful past. The protagonists of Tony Manero (2008) and Post Mortem (2010) symbolize traumatized subjects embodying a dual temporality, becoming the living dead in a lifeless society. They belong to the domain of between two deaths, returning to collect an unpaid symbolic debt. Both characters bring back the memory of an inconve- nient past to Chilean society reporting a haunting history. Hence, Larraín’s movies review the political transition as a tension between oblivion and the incomplete postdictatorial task of mourning. This essay analyzes the figure of the undead epitomizing the debt of Chilean society to its history. Keywords: Pablo Larraín; Postdictatorship; Trauma, Memory; Film; Chile; 20th-21st Century. Resumen: La trilogía cinematográfica de Pablo Larraín sobre la dictadura chilenarefiere a las contradicciones de una memoria en acecho sobre una sociedad contemporánea, para establecer un diálogo entre un presente y un pasado ominoso. Los protagonistas de Tony Manero (2008) y Post Mortem (2010) simbolizan sujetos traumatizados que encarnan una temporalidad dual, transformándose en muertos vivos de una sociedad sin vida. Pertenecen al dominio de entre dos muertes, regresando para cobrar una deuda simbólica impaga. Ambos personajes traen el recuerdo de un pasado incómodo para la sociedad chilena, al reportar una historia que se manifiesta de manera acechante. Por lo tanto, los filmes de Larraín revisan la transición política como una tensión entre el olvido y el trabajo de duelo incompleto de la posdictatura.

  • An Allegorical Reading of Pablo Larraín's Tony Manero
    The Perpetrating Victim: An Allegorical Reading of Pablo Larraín’s Tony Manero (2008) The dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) has been an important source of material for Chilean filmmakers. Notable examples of films concerning this period include La frontera (Ricardo Larraín, 1991), Amnesia (Gonzalo Justiniano, 1994), Machuca (Andrés Wood, 2004) and Dawson Isla 10 (Miguel Littín, 2009). Pablo Larraín has based three films on this still-lingering past: Tony Manero (2008), Post-mortem (2010) and NO (2012). Tony Manero, set in 1978, won several awards, including Best Film in festivals at Buenos Aires and Istanbul in 2009. Post-mortem, set around the time of the death of Pinochet’s socialist predecessor, Salvador Allende, won awards in Havana, Lima, Los Angeles and Cartagena. The critical and commercial success of the last film, NO, set during the 1988 plebiscite on Pinochet’s rule, drew both on the worldwide fame of the lead actor, Gael García Bernal, and on Larraín’s growing reputation as a young, up-and-coming director. According to Vaina Barraza Toledo, the films confront the dictatorship era by ‘[exploring] contradictions of memory haunting contemporary society, establishing a sort of dialogue between a present and the dreadful past by which this present is hounded’ (2013: 59). In Tony Manero, the subject of this article, the violent protagonist, Raúl Peralta (played by Alfredo Castro), aims to win a contest on the television show Festival de la una (The One O’Clock Show) to find Chile’s best impersonator of John Travolta’s Tony Manero, the protagonist of Saturday Night Fever (1977), and to stage a Saturday Night Fever show in the cantina where he lives.

UNM Latin American & Iberian Institute 2 Introduction Dear Educators, These resources have been created to support teachers in integrating discussions and activities concerning Chilean arpilleras into their classroom. The UNM Latin American & Iberian Institute (LAII) developed this educator’s guide in conjunction with profes- sional development workshops held in Spring and Fall 2013 through a partnership with the National Hispanic Cultural Center. The workshops were organized to explore teaching about the exhibition “Stitching Resistance: The History of Chilean Arpilleras,” on display at the NHCC from October 19, 2012, through January 31, 2014. The intent of this powerful and extensive exhibit was to help illuminate the artistry and the history of arpilleristas and arpilleras in the hope that what happened to Chileans between 1973 and 1990 is never forgotten - and that the artists who stitched it are forever recognized. As a first recommendation, we suggest that educators review another wonderful resource available online at no cost: The Making History Series “Stitching Truth: Women’s Protest Art in Pinochet’s Chile” from Facing History and Ourselves.
