Aldo Francia: Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano en Viña del Mar
1994 · 53 min · Documentary
Documentary that explores the life and work of Aldo Francia, one of the founders of the New Latin American Cinema movement. Born in Valparaíso in 1923, Francia practiced medicine throughout his life, specializing in pediatrics. However, he had an intense film career that, although it ended abruptly with the 1973 coup d'état, left its mark on Chilean filmmaking in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1962, he founded the Viña del Mar Film Club, which a few years later would become the University of Chile's Film School in Valparaíso. A key driving force behind the Viña del Mar film festivals, his name is primarily associated with one of the greatest works of Chilean cinema, Valparaíso, My Love (1969).
