Calle Santa Fé Series: Human Rights Watch International Film Festival 2008 [June 13 - 26] Director: Carmen Castillo; Country: Chile/France/Belgium; Release: 2007, Runtime: 163
Chile, October 1974. A house on a suburban street in Santiago is the scene of a shoot-out with Pinochet’s secret police. Miguel Enriquez, a rebel leader, is killed. His companion and comrade Carmen Castillo is wounded. In Calle Santa Fé, this courageous woman embarks on a raw, uncompromising journey through the present and into the memory of a rebellion.
Through a series of remarkable re-encounters, Castillo retraces the path from resistance to exile, from Allende to Pinochet, remembering the men and women who rose up against his tyranny. Screened in the New York Film Festival in 2007.
Presented in association with Cinema Tropical, www.cinematropical.com, and King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center, www.nyu.edu/kjc.
