Angels (Tatiana Gaviola, Chile, 1988)
: Angeles. The first Chilean woman to make a film inside Chile, Gaviola tread on forbidden ground in her short piece Angels by visualizing the Popular Unity period in a positive light. It is affectionately recalled in the film as a time when youthful enthusiasm and a utopian communion of progressive art and politics were the order of the day. Her characters, a group of university students and cultural activists, struggle with personal conflicts, romance and political aspirations as the government falls, the military moves in, and many youths disappear. Gaviola's presentation is an attractive blend of black-and-white verité-style "documentary" portraits and color dramatic sequences. (45 mins, In Spanish with English subtitles, B&W/Color, 16mm)
