"All the films in the programme deal in one way or another with profound experiences or events that are currently unfolding that will inevitably go down in history. The characters in the films are searching for the truth, however unpleasant or inconvenient it may be. Tense, relentless and sometimes funny, the films will leave you unmoved." - Andrius Blaževičius, Competition Programme Director. FILMS: The Chilean Selection / La selección de Chile Dir.
