"It is vibrant, what is happening in the country and the film sector are very alive, we see a super active sector, not only with a work that does not ignore the social contingency but is the other way around, the social contingency has fueled the creation and activation of street narratives, from the street, but that also show a country that is looking at itself as never before"2."Cinema and audiovisual creators are the eyes of Chile"PAOLA CASTILLO: "I think that somehow we have to continue reaffirming that commitment to current issues, nowadays there is a very important situation in Chile and documentaries are being a vehicle to show that reality, both in terms of the importance of the citizen participation in the demands for a much more dignified and just society, but also as a vehicle to denounce human rights violations that take place in our country. About four days ago the last report of the National Institute of Human Rights was released and (it said that) already more than 450 people have eyes injuries, and somehow the documentary (sector) is taking the pulse of that situation"
