Texts on Chilean Cinema 1910-2019

This ambitious collection of essays offers a provocative reading of Chilean cinema, addressing over a hundred years of national production. Rich in absolutely unexpected, at times openly scandalous, associations, Apariciones brings into dialogue institutional documentaries from the beginning of the century with the so-called “newest Chilean cinema,” passing through city symphonies and the most recent post-dictatorship documentaries. In his writing, Pablo Corro shatters the dominant temporalities, categories, and disciplines within the field. Productively intertwining philosophy, history, literature, and moving image studies, the author's learned gaze makes this book one of the most important interventions in film studies in Chile in recent times.
