International Oscar selection and Fripesci Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Master class with co-writer Antonia Girardi
Chile, 1893. Three men embark on a horseback expedition that goes from being a simple administrative procedure to a real hunt. One of the most brilliant feature film debuts of recent years. Felipe Gálvez uses the rules of the western to deconstruct the stories that were woven around the genocide of the Selk’nam, a page erased from the official history of Chile.
Gálvez feels deeply attracted to the codes of the genre and propaganda to find a way to capture the world from another perspective. And therein lies the greatness of the filmmaker’s gesture: to seek in cinema a form of salvation, a path to freedom.
