Patricio Guzmán Retrospective
2016.1.21 - 2016.1.30
One of Chilean cinemas prominent figures, Patricio Guzmán adeptly combines riveting cinematography with power political messages. In 2015, his documentary The Pearl Button, a film denouncing the genocide suffered by the Chilean indigenous people and the crimes of the Pinochet dictatorship, won the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlinale. His first documentary, The Battle of Chile (1973) has been recognized by the press as "one of the ten best political films in the world" and is widely considered a unique work in the history of cinematography.
UCCA's retrospective, organized with the Embassy of Chile in Beijing, includes the documentaries The Battle of Chile, Nostalgia for the Light, and The Pearl Button with an opening by Patricio Guzmán and a roundtable discussion between the director and several Chinese filmmakers. China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) and Beijing International Tourism TUMEI are sponsors.
