Pour tout l'or des Andes

May 11, 2010

★ 6.8

Overview

From the plains of the Huasco Valley to the Atacama Desert and the mines of northern Chile, the narrator gathers the testimonies of farmers, neighbors, small landowners and political leaders. In the surrounding area and in the Pascua Lama gold mine itself, called The Treasure of America because of the enormous gold reserves it holds, the action is centred. The investigation is possible thanks to the access to the Canadian multinational Barrick Gold whose reports on the environment will be questioned.

Valparaiso

Aug 31, 1964

In 1962 Joris Ivens was invited to Chile for teaching and filmmaking. Together with students he made …A Valparaíso, one of his most poetic films. Contrasting the prestigious history of the seaport with the present the film sketches a portrait of the city, built on 42 hills, with its wealth and poverty, its daily life on the streets, the stairs, the rack railways and in the bars. Although the port has lost its importance, the rich past is still present in the impoverished city. The film echoes this ambiguous situation in its dialectical poetic style, interweaving the daily life reality (of 1963) with the history of the city and changing from black and white to colour, finally leaving us with hopeful perspective for the children who are playing on the stairs and hills of this beautiful town.

The Pearl Button

Oct 15, 2015

The ocean contains the history of all humanity. The sea holds all the voices of the earth and those that come from outer space. Water receives impetus from the stars and transmits it to living creatures. Water, the longest border in Chile, also holds the secret of two mysterious buttons which were found on its ocean floor. Chile, with its 2,670 miles of coastline and the largest archipelago in the world, presents a supernatural landscape. In it are volcanoes, mountains and glaciers. In it are the voices of the Patagonian Indigenous people, the first English sailors and also those of its political prisoners. Some say that water has memory. This film shows that it also has a voice.
