ARTISTIC DIFFERENCES invites legendary Chilean filmmaker Ignacio Agüero to engage in questions and provocations inspired by our cineclub and articulated by programmer Cintia Gil and UnionDocs Founder, Christopher Allen.
In this episode, learn more about Agüero’s unflinching and empathetic mode of filmmaking, one that never shies from strong political stakes. Tune in as we consider his latest feature Notas para una película (Notes for a film) (2022), an essay, which slips fluidly in time and space, borrowing competing voices and memories to question the legacy of the train and the engineering of colonial infrastructure in a region where the indigenous Mapuche were forcibly displaced by the state.
Fundamentally grounded questions continue as the discussion turns to Agüero’s early film Como me da la gana (This is the Way I Like it) (1985), a film in which Agüero mischievously interrupts many filmmakers on their sets, right in the middle of production to ask them explicitly; what’s the point of filming in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship.
