Leading Chilean producer-director Matías Cardone of Invercine Producciones and “My Last Round” director Julio Jorquera have teamed on the time capsule documentary “Real Time,” screening in this year’s online Sanfic Industria Work in Progress sidebar.
“Real Time” starts with a long-lost VHS of an artistic performance in Chile’s turbulent 1980s, featuring Patricia Rivadeneira and Vicente Ruiz, exponents of the Chilean counterculture during Pinochet’s brutal dictatorship. Nearly four decades later, the two set out, with help from Cardone and Jorquera, to reconnect with old friends and remember old stories which explore their own personal past . In modern-day interviews, the film forces its subjects to question their often enduring roles as transgressive artists against an oppressive system.
Cardone spoke to Variety about the origins of “Real Time,” the international appeal of political performance art and what role artists play in times of political upheaval.
