SCREENINGS

*Please note that due to circumstances beyond our control, this event has been rescheduled from Friday 18 October to Thurs 24 October.*

On the fifth anniversary of Chile’s immense Social Uprising against the neoliberal and authoritarian legacy of the Pinochet dictatorship – which saw the South American country’s largest ever protests – join Alborada for a special screening of the acclaimed Alborada Films documentary Santiago Rising (synopsis below).

The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film’s director Nick MacWilliam, Chilean journalist Dr Marcela Pizarro and academic Marcos Ortiz. It will be chaired by Peter Watt, academic and host of the Alborada podcast The Americas Uncovered.

Admission is via voluntary donation with all proceeds going towards supporting independent media, equally split between Chile’s Señal Tres La Victoria, which features in the film, and Alborada.

Hosted by Alborada in association with Bolivar Hall and Alborada Films. Supported by Asamblea Chilena en Londres (Chilean Assembly in London) and the Independent Media Association.

The Newington Green Film Club is back on Saturday 4th May – and we’re showing Santiago Rising (2021) by Nick MacWilliam.

The director will be with us after the movie for Q&A along with Cristina Navarrete who is an activist and a former political prisoner in the dictatorship. Santiago Rising takes place on the streets of Chile’s capital city in late 2019 as massive protests over economic inequality engulf the country. Filmed during the weeks after protests began, Santiago Rising meets social movements, protesters and ordinary people in their struggle for equality and human rights.
