Chile will be well represented at this year’s Sheffield Doc/Fest – with a special spotlight on the work and creativity of a number of filmmakers from the region.

“We are thrilled because we have managed a focus that [highlights] Chilean documentary of the last two years, represented in titles with very different themes and narratives, which shows the diversity and versatility that characterizes our productions,” notes Director of Chiledoc, Paula Ossandón.

The Chilean delegation plan to bring five projects to the Festival. The Spotlight section offers The Other One, Haydee and the Flying Fish, Night Shot and Harley Queen (main photo) and Los Reyes (pictured above). The Official Market Selection, meanwhile, will offer up Here, the Silence is Heard by filmmakers Gabriela Pena and Picho García.

Harley Queen is directed and produced by Carolina Adriazola and José Luis Sepúlveda; Haydee and the Flying Fish is directed by Pachi Bustos and produced by Paola Castillo, while Night Shot is directed by Carolina Moscoso and produced by Macarena Aguiló. Los Reyeswasdirected and produced by Bettina Perut and Ivan Osnovikoff; while The Other One is directed by Francisco Bermejo and produced by Francisco Hervé.

This year, Sheffield runs between June 4 and 13. Cintia Gil, festival director, selected Chilean films released between 2018 and 2020 to represent the expansive nature of Chilean narrative and audiovisual technical diversity.

Beyond the projects noted above, the delegation will also bring six projects still in development.
