Chile Imaginario: Animated Documentary by Claudio Diaz

The short film features nine testimonies from young people (born between the 1973 Pinochet Military Coup and 2010, Chile's Bicentenary) who respond spontaneously to questions about that period in a candid and profound dialogue.

 Depending on their answers, they'll evoke the visual contexts of each period. Animated cycles of children, young and old people coexist as they embark on an imaginary voyage, from an individual past to a collective present of the Chilean country.

 The film is ambitious in its coverage, but at the same time, its lyrical images are suggestive enough. Watch the trailer:

Claudio Diaz has worked with political themes before. His Coup Mirror (Golpe de Espejo) screened at Animafest, Zagreb and Ottawa Animation Festival.
