Bordes' meticulous examination of what is real in fiction arises from a diagnosis regarding the panorama of contemporary cinema in Chile, and the theoretical difficulty involved in thinking about a cinema that puts its own margins in conflict: it is about a dialogue renewal of the cinema of the two thousand years (the so-called Novísimo Cine Chileno), which from the private and the affective is involved in the arenas of the public, the social and the political in the fictional cinematography of the present. Throughout these pages, Carolina Urrutia and Ana Fernández analyze the proposals and themes of Chilean cinema in recent years and show us how those films deploy unprecedented ways of elaboration to reflect on events and problems of great public impact or conflictive social contexts of violence. , inequality and social helplessness, and how the rapprochement between fiction and reality is correlated with its own narrative and representational mechanisms.
