Chile’s Vibrant Documentary Scene at Berlinale With ‘Oasis’ and ‘Towards the Sun, Far From the Center’


Feature doc ‘Oasis’ and short film 'Towards the Sun, Far from the Center' rep Chile’s vibrant doc sector at Berlin.

On Sunday, Feb. 18, Chiledoc will be hosting a cocktail event where Ossandón will kick off with a talk on Chile’s state funding for film and television in a bid to further enhance and promote co-productions with the country. Among the large Chilean delegation attending Berlinale is Carola Fuentes of La Ventana Cine, a renowned documentary production company (“Chicago Boys,” “Breaking the Brick”) and television content producer (“¿Qué comes?,” “#Por qué en mi jardín”). Given its rousing reception since its premiere and grand jury prize win at Sundance, “The Eternal Memory” has a good shot at bringing home the gold this time around.
