Chilean cinemarefers to all films produced inChileor made byChileans.It had its origins at the start of the 20th century with the first Chilean film screening in 1902 and the first Chileanfeature filmappearing in 1910. The oldest surviving feature isEl Húsar de la Muerte(1925), and the last silent film wasPatrullas de Avanzada(1931). The Chilean film industry struggled in the late 1940s and in the 1950s, despite some box-office successes such asEl Diamante de Maharajá.The 1960s saw the development of the "New Chilean Cinema", with films likeThree Sad Tigers(1968),Jackal of Nahueltoro(1969) andValparaíso mi amor(1969). After the1973 military coup,film production was low, with many filmmakers working inexile.It increased after the end of thePinochet regimein 1989, with occasional critical and/or popular successes such asJohnny cien pesos(1993),Historias de Fútbol(1997) andGringuito(1998).
Greater box office success came in the late 1990s and early 2000s with films likeEl Chacotero Sentimental: la película(1999),Sexo con Amor(2003),Sub Terra(2003), andMachuca(2004) all of which were surpassed byStefan v/s Kramer(2012) andSin filtro(2016).
In recent years, Chilean films have made increasingly regular appearances at international film festivals, withNo(2012) becoming the first Chilean film nominated for theAcademy Award for Best Foreign Language FilmandA Fantastic Woman(2017) the first to win it.[5]
History
[edit]Origins
[edit]On 17 February 1895 entrepreneur Francisco de Paola presented the firstKinetoscope,anearly motion pictureexhibition device, inSantiago.Next year, on 25 August 1896, the firstCinématographereels were shown to an astounded audience inSantiago.These were the same movies that only eight months earlier, theLumiere Brothershad shown inParis.[6]
In the north of Chile, thePotassium nitratemining industry created enough wealth to allow cities likeAntofagastaandIquiquesome privileges rare in other parts of the country. In Iquique, photographer Luis Oddó Osorio was enthralled by this new technology and started to create his own short films. On 20 May 1897, he screened the short documentary "Una cueca en Cavancha"[7]in the Great Philharmonic Hall on Tarapaca Street. Osorio followed his first short with "El desfile en honor del Brasil",[8]"La llegada de un tren de pasajeros a la estación de Iquique",[9]"Bomba Tarapacá Nº7"[10]and "Grupo de gananciosos en la partida de football".[11]
In 1897, somecircusesbegan to screen movies, which attracted great interest at first but soon trailed off due to the lack of new material. In the same year in Santiago, two new movie venues opened which both featuredEdison'sVitascope,less popular than theCinématographe.In June that year, theBioscopwas also launched as another alternative to the cinematographe, although it eventually failed. By the end of the year, all these new places would be closed.
In 1900, the Apollo Theatre in Santiago exhibited the film "Carreras en Viña", (Racing inViña) and some other foreign films. The exact date that the films screened and further details of this event remain unknown.
In the port city ofValparaíso,the first film ever fully produced in Chile was launched at the Teatro ODEON on 26 May 1902.[12]The film,Ejercicio General del Cuerpo de Bomberos[13](General Practice of the Fire Department), filmed on 20 May the same year, was only three minutes long and showed the annual public show performed by the Valparaíso Fire Department in the city'sAníbal Pinto square.Nothing is known of the film's director, cinematographer or production team, and only 27 seconds of footage remain today, held by theCatholic University of Valparaíso.[14]
In 1903, "Un paseo por playa ancha" (A walk through Playa Ancha) was filmed inValparaisoby Maurice Albert Massonnier. The film is split into three parts. First, ahuasocharges into the scene, causing some commotion among the people around, and dances the traditional Chileancuecaaccompanied by musicians. This is followed by a scene where the characters eat aChilean Cazuela.Finally, in the last scene, a fight breaks but is quickly controlled by a guard. Maurice Albert Massonnier was sent to Chile by the Lumiere Brothers' company, one of many sent around the world to document and produce films for them. After screening his film in Chile, Massonnier sent the film to Paris, where several copies were made. One of those copies was found in 1994 by Chilean film restorer Daniel Sandoval in an archive on Bois-d'Arcy.[15]"Un paseo por playa ancha" is now the oldest surviving Chilean movie. Massonier ended up settling in Chile and made his own production company, "Empresa Massonnier y Ca".
The silent era
[edit]Film production boomed in Chile in the silent era, with 78 films released between 1910 and 1931. The first full-length film,Manuel Rodríguez,was released in 1910. Directed by Adolfo Urzúa, and starring Nicanor de la Sotta, it told the story ofManuel Rodríguez Erdoíza,who fought for Chile's independence from Spain until his death in 1818.[16]
Among the many Chilean directors who took up the art in this period – Salvatore Giambastini, Juan Pérez Berrocal, Jorge "Coke" Délano, Nicanor de la Sotta, Carlos Borcosque and Alberto Santana – one name in particular stands out for film historians:Pedro Sienna,a former stage actor who went on to direct and act in some of the best films of the age.[16] It was Sienna who wrote, directed and starred in the first Chilean feature-length film that has survived to this day,El Húsar de la Muerte(The Hussar of the Dead).
Premiered inSantiagoon 24 November 1925,El Húsar de la Muerte– like Adolfo Urzúa's eponymousManuel Rodríguez– tells the story of Manuel Rodríguez Erdoíza. The film was restored in 1962 by theUniversity of Chile's film archive, with a musical soundtrack by well-known Chilean composer and pianistSergio Ortega.El Húsar de la Muertewas shown in the Treasures from the Archives category of the 2005London Film Festival.Critic Carolina Robino describedEl Húsar de la MuerteinBBC Mundoas "an extremely refined film for its era. The visual imagery has an extraordinary richness. Sienna plays masterfully with the time-shifts, with the subjective view of the characters and with their thoughts. Without words, it tells an epic story with exquisite touches of humor and provides an accurate description ofChilean colonial society."[17]
The last silent movie produced in Chile wasPatrullas de Avanzada(Advanced Patrol), directed by Eric Page and released in 1931.[16]
1940s and 1960s
[edit]In 1942, the Chilean Production Development Corporation (Spanish: "Corporación de Fomento de la Producción" orCORFO) created the Chile Films project, which provided filmmakers with technical resources and supported the Chilean film industry. One of the films supported by theCORFOis thefilmanimatedtitled15 mil dibujos.[18]Despite this, the industry began to struggle in the late 1940s with some studios experiencing financial difficulties. Large sums of money were spent on cinematic "super-productions" to attract foreign directors, but most failed to make a profit.[16]One film which did buck the trend, however, was adventure-comedyEl Diamante de Maharajá(The Maharaja Diamond), starring comedian Lucho Córdoba, which was a box-office hit.
The low-output trend continued into the 1950s, with only 13 films released in Chile over the course of the decade. Towards the end of the 1950s, however, two films appeared which gave a taste of the new wave of socially conscious cinema that would sweep Chile in the 1960s: Naum Kramarenko'sTres miradas a la calle(Three Views of the Street, 1957) andDeja que los perros ladren(Let the Dogs Bark, 1961).[16]
The "New Chilean Cinema", 1960s-1989
[edit]In the 1960s, a vibrant national film culture developed which came to be known as the "New Chilean Cinema" (Spanish:Nuevo Cine Chileno). An experimental film department was founded at theUniversity of Chile,along with a Film Institute at theCatholic University of Chile.The industry also received support from the revitalised Chile Films project which had begun in the 1940s.[19]During this period, young directors such asRaúl Ruiz,Patricio Guzmán,Aldo Francia,Helvio SotoandMiguel Littínemerged, along with a new genre inspired by social and political currents on the 1960s, the documentary.[16]
The first ever "Festival del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano" (New Latin American Film Festival) took place inViña del Marin 1967. Shortly afterwards some of the most important films from the New Chilean Cinema period were released: veteran Patricio Kaulen'sLargo viaje(1967),Raúl Ruiz'sThree Sad Tigers(1968),Miguel Littín'sJackal of Nahueltoro(1969),Aldo Francia'sValparaíso mi amor(1969) andHelvio Soto'sCaliche sangriento(1969).[16]
Politics was a key theme for Chilean cinema in the 1960s and beyond, as it was for similar movements in other South American countries (theCinema NovoofBraziland theNueva Cinemaof Argentina) and for Chilean movements in other fields of the arts, such as theNueva Canción Chilena(New Chilean Song). "This left-wing Chilean filmmakers' movement cannot be understood without connecting it to the emerging social and political identity of the American continent", states the Chilean cultural websiteMemoria Chilena.[20]
The1973 military coupdrove many filmmakers abroad, where they continued to make films reflecting on and criticising the Chilean military government underAugusto Pinochet.Memoria Chilena says: "The premises of the Nuevo Cine did not die with the massive exile of filmmakers. Instead they were reinterpreted in the cinema of exile as protest against the repression under the military regime or expressing nostalgia for the shattered revolution." Some of the best known includeThe Promised Land(1973),Il pleut sur Santiago(1975),Dialogues of Exiles(1975),Actas de Marusia(1975),Cantata de Chile(1976),Noch nad Chili(1977),The Battle of Chile(1979),Marilú Mallet'sJournal inachevé(1982),Angelina Vásquez'sPresencia lejana(1982) andActa General de Chile(1986).[20]
Transition post-dictatorship, 1989-1999
[edit]Film production within Chile was relatively low throughout the military regime, with most filmmakers working in exile, but began to increase again when the regime ended in 1989. In 1992, theFONDARTnational art fund was established which would go on to support some 90% of Chilean feature-length films made since its creation. Although many films released in the late 1980s and early 1990s received both public and critical acclaim, includingJohnny Cien Pesos(Hundred Peso Johnny, 1993) by Gustavo Graef-Marino;Historias de Fútbol(Soccer Stories, 1997) the debut film fromAndrés WoodandGringuito(1998) by Sergio Castilla, Chilean movies struggled to compete with international films for audience numbers.[16]
The next decade saw this trend begin to change. The more commercial 1999 releaseEl Chacotero Sentimental(The Sentimental Joker), by Cristián Galaz, broke Chilean box office records.[16]
International awards since 2000
[edit]Since 2000, Chilean films were box-office successes likeJorge Olguín'sÁngel Negro(Black Angel, 2000) and Alejandro Rojas'Ogú y Mampato en Rapa Nui(Ogú and Mampato on Easter Island, 2002). In 2003, the comedySexo con Amor(Sex with Love) byBoris Querciaset a new national box office record which would remain unbroken until 2012.[16]Chilean films also began to win awards at noted international festivals. Silvio Caiozzi'sCoronación(Coronation, 2000) won prizes at theMontreal,Huelva,CartagenaandHavanafilm festivals; Andrés Wood'sLa Fiebre del Loco(Abalone Fever, 2001) won at Cartagena andLleida;andTaxi Para Tres(Taxi For Three, 2001) byOrlando Lübbertwon at Cartagena, Havana,Mar del Plata,MiamiandSan Sebastián.[16]
Chilean PresidentRicardo Lagosfounded theNational Council of Culture and the Artsin 2003 and, since 2005, FONDART has been supplemented by additional competitive State funds which are allocated to encourage film production, distribution, literacy and heritage through theConsejo del Arte y la Industria Audiovisual(CAIA) and theFondo de Fomento Audiovisual.
