Nostalgia for the Light

Nostalgia de la luz

Patricio Guzmán, FR/DE/CL, 2010, 90 min., OV + ES

The Chilean desert Atacama becomes the starting point for a film about astronomy and Pinochet’s dictatorship. Scientists from all around the world meet 3000 meters above the sea level to observe the space. If they looked down through a giant telescope, they could see women still looking for the bodies of Pinochet’s victims after all the years.
