The festival kickstarts with Pablo Larraìn’s No, the final saga in the director’s portrait on Chile under dictator Pinochet. The screening is followed by an after party at Kunstnernes hus with brazilian music and drinks.
Opening Film, No
The last film in Larrain’s trilogy depicts the 1988 events in which a national advertising campaign led to dictator, Pinochet’s, fall. During the course of 27 days, Pinochet allots 15 minutes of national television screen time for opposing and supporting debates on his dictatorship, and ever pragmatic salesman René Saavedra, played by Gael García Bernal, sells the idea of a Chile free of Pinochet’s tyranny with an enthusiasm no one expected, least of all Pinochet himself. Showtime, 6pm, Vika 1 Cinema.
