“The experience is soul-crushing, it shakes you to the core.” —La Segunda

Reconstructing scenes from the past in order to understand their future, 11 young people born during the Pinochet dictatorship use photos, letters, tapes, old clothes, and personal stories from their families to uncover erased memories. Political and playful, real and surreal, the intertwined tales in Lola Arias’s The Year I Was Born toggle between reality and fiction, exploring the endless variety of perspectives from Chile’s most complex era. Probing humor, telling truths, and live rock shape this moving piece about the unsteady balance between private lives and national identity. In Spanish with English surtitles. Run time: 105 minutes. Note: Smoke effects
