Los huesos is a fictitious account of the world's first stop-motion animated film. Dated 1901 and excavated in 2021 as Chile drafts a new Constitution, the footage documents a ritual performed by a girl who appears to use human corpses. Emerging in the ritual are Diego Portales and Jaime Guzmán, central figures in the construction of authoritarian and oligarchic Chile. We understand our works as rituals, incantations or spells. We imagine Los huesos as a myth of origin of animation, and at the same time as a ritual that channels and interprets the energy of the historical moment happening in Chile today.
Warfare was a 2025 war film that was set in Iraq in 2006. The story revolves around a Navy SEAL platoon providing overwatch for a US Marine operation in Ramadi, Iraq, which finds itself in a fight for survival after its mission takes an unforeseen turn. This movie was not propaganda, but it was a war survival film.
A Private Life was a movie that should have been better than this. It is a movie about a woman who works as a Psychologist who investigates the recent death of her patients. Jodie Foster speaks French in this film, and I love how the director cast Foster for the leading role. Additionally, this is the first Jodie Foster film I have watched since Taxi Driver, which I saw back in 1976.
