Under Construction (or, The Place I was Born No Longer Exists)
February 28 @ 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
FreeFREE FOR EVERYONE!
In the Providencia Barrio of Santiago, Chile, a neighbor lives through the demolition of the house next door and the construction of a building in the same place, over a two-year period.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION is about the passing of time and the transformation of a space where minor and major events occur: a death and a birth; neighborhoods disappearing; buildings being demolished and built; winters and springs passing.
In the end, when the building is finished, the protagonist looks up at his new neighbors, while they look down at him from their balcony: evidence of a space (and a past) that they now control.
“There are dozens, hundreds of films within the 77 minutes of UNDER CONSTRUCTION.”—Pablo Marin, professor and filmmaker
(Ignacio Agüero, Chile, Spanish w/ English Subs, 77min, 2000, Digital)
Personal Outsides will be postponed to a later date.
