Francisco Rodríguez Teare is a Chilean artist and filmmaker based in France with a moving image practice. Since 2015 he has been creating film and video works and exhibiting them internationally both in film festival circuits and contemporary art contexts. His work explores the flow of power within fluid global networks and territories, opacity of violence, the traces of the dead in the world of the living, oral traditions and their intersection with personal memory and popular myths.

A spring afternoon on the San Cristobal hill, in downtown Santiago de Chile. Four friends and a sound engineer talk about the events seen and experienced during the popular revolt that began in 2019 in Chile.
