Reel Reflections: La memoria infinita [The Eternal Memory]

Nominated to the Oscars in the Best Documentary Category

Winner of the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema– Documentary

Synopsis: What happens to the collective memory of an oppressed country if the ones who report on the oppression fail to remember? This is the question Oscar-nominated Chilean director Maite Alberdi’s documentary asks of its main subjects: renowned journalist Augusto Góngora, who is in late-stage dementia; and Paulina Urrutia, a culture minister and his life partner of 25 years.

Sinopsis: Augusto, un conocido periodista cultural chileno, y Paulina, actriz y ex ministra de cultura, han estado juntos y enamorados desde hace más de 25 años. Cuando la memoria de Augusto empieza a debilitarse, aprenderán a reinventar la forma de relacionarse entre ellos, haciendo evidente que el amor que se tienen y su sentido del humor son inquebrantables.
