"Not the whole earth will be a little of my land. / Wherever I find myself / I will always be passing by." The lyrics of Isabel Parra's famous song resonate throughout this exhaustive study on the odyssey of three Chilean filmmakers exceptional, a book that navigates between the exile split and the productive challenges of nomadic trajectories. The publishers have fully complied with their desire to re-write the work of Marilú Mallet, Valeria Sarmiento and Angelina Vázquez, far from the margins, and within the history of Chilean, Latin American and world cinema. This is an original collection, well structured and edited with precision, which offers sophisticated analysis of the work of these three directors, using subtle theoretical approaches and historical approaches. The book is complemented by a series of illuminating interviews with the same filmmakers and illustrated with an evocative dossier made up of varied archive material retrieved from various sources. An exemplary work, both academic and accessible, that deserves the widest reception.
