Calle Santa Fe
Series: The 45th New York Film Festival [Sep 28 - Oct 14 2007]
Director: Carmen Castillo, Country: Chile/France/Belgium, Release: 2007, Runtime: 163

The title refers to the street in Santiago where Miguel Enriquez, the leader of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR), was gunned down by secret police in 1974. After three decades in exile, Enriquez’s widow, Carmen Castillo, returns to that haunted address and embarks on a soul-searching journey into her conflicted past, and into the unresolved modern history of her homeland. The result is less a documentary than a testament, as Castillo re-establishes contact with the neighbor who saved her life, the parents of deceased MIR activists, and her own family. A moving meditation on revolutionary fervor and the landscape of memory.

Presented in association with the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival.

Preceded by
Orishas: Hay un Son, a dazzling visual response to the Franco-Cuban group Orisha's 2006 hit song. Edouard Salier, France, 2007, 3 min.
