Making Chilean Films Global
CHILE AT
Chile at Cannes 2016
We are proud to be the only country representing Latin America at the Director’s Fortnight, with two of our most exceptional directors: Pablo Larraín with Neruda (starring Luis Gnecco, Gael García Bernal and Mercedes Morán); and Alejandro Jodorowsky with Endless Poetry (Adan Jodorowsky, Pamela Flores and Brontis Jodorowsky). We return to Cannes with more excitement and energy than ever, after a 2015 full of achievements for our audiovisual production. We return with Silver Bears, a Golden Eye Award, and even an Oscar, only to mention a few of the recognitions obtained around the world. It was a year in which our industry demonstrated with talent, professionalism and diversity what we have been announcing proudly: In Chile there are surprising things happening and they are not to be missed. We return with an important presence in the Marché du Film, a strategic event for our industry, in which more than a dozen companies will participate with almost fifty projects in fiction, documentary and television. Our delegation embarks to solidify a well-rounded business schedule that seeks to strengthen the national industry through sales alliances and co-production agreements. We come to strengthen international ties, through an unprecedented bilateral agenda with Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Italy and Croatia, in order to establish alliances that strengthen our co-productions and give rise to new creations and financing opportunities. We will be present with a stand, strategically located in the Palais des Festivals and in the Short Film Corner, where we will exhibit a complete panorama of national creation in short format. Additionally, it is in the largest festival and film market in the world where we will once again present our 2016 International Film Catalogue, which compiles an outstanding figure of directors, entirely new to the world scene. Chilean cinema has exploded and it’s in the height of its expansion. We invite you to be a part of this journey.

It’s 1948 and Pablo Neruda is pursued after the communist party is banned. The President calls for his impeachment, delegating his arrest to Óscar Peluchonneau. Neruda becomes a poet who turned into a weapon. He lives in hiding with his wife Delia del Carril, writes the ‘Canto General’, and tries to flee the country while Peluchonneau is hot on his heels. The poet uses this persecution to reinvent himself, he becomes both a symbol for liberty and a literary legend.
“This is the story of a key figure in Latin American literature, as well as the political history of Chile. We recount Neruda through dark comedy, parody, action, and drama. Neruda shows a poet who redefines himself and becomes a legend thanks to his persecutor.” Pablo Larraín

Set in the 1950s, Poesía Sin Fin is the autobiographical account of a young Alejandro Jodorowsky and his emancipation. Breaking free from his merchant father’s stiffling authority, he asserts his uncontainable desire to become a poet, through an absolute artistic and amorous quest. The film takes us through the poignant tale of a young man with a passion for freedom who discovers and explores without limitation the world of art and poetry until his definitive departure from Chile to France. True to Alejandro
Jodorowsky’s principle under which Cinema is an absolute form of art, Poesía Sin Fin is an artistic manifest and a free, uncompromising poetic act unto itself. “Endless Poetry reveals a young man who wants, above all, to find beauty in the world, in others, in himself, who wants to find a reason in his life. Cinema for us, for the artists, is not an industry; it’s not a business. We have to make cinema that heals. Cinema that is optimistic, happy, creative… wonderful!” Alejandro Jodorowsky
