Aricadoc documentary film festival celebrates 10th anniversary in Arica

The Aricadoc documentary film festival is celebrating its tenth edition in Arica, Chile, with nine days of free programming scheduled from October 23 to October 31. Supported by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage, the Municipality of Arica, and the University of Tarapacá, the festival features various screenings and discussions.

Key highlights include a presentation by filmmaker Ignacio Agüero and the screening of the film ‘Descomedidos y Chascones’ by Carlos Flores, a work originally intended for release in 1973 but censored due to the political climate of the era. Other scheduled events include a performance by Carlos Flores and the screening of ‘Esa otra selva blanca’ by Teresa Arredondo. The festival also includes the co-production ‘Estados Generales’ by Mauricio Freyre, which explores neocolonial structures through the history of seed transfers between Madrid and Peru.
