An Oscillating Shadow

The filmmaker and photographer engages with her father’s photo archive. He was also a photographer during his years of militant activism against the dictatorship in Chile and his exile throughout Latin America. By exploring these images, she attempts to connect with her father through a game. She considers how the intimate and political weight of images can open spaces to reflect upon them as acts of resistance, either because they are made despite the horror of their context, or because they offer an imaginary vanishing point that might just set us free.
