tmdb84320748Jul 27, 2025Recently had the chance to watch Tesoros and join a conversation with its director, Flavia Furtado. I had already heard that the film had been screened in several countries — including a full month in New York, and theatrical runs in New Zealand and France — and after experiencing it, I can confidently say it's one of the most important films I’ve seen coming out of Chile and Latin America in recent years. Tesoros is a documentary rooted in themes of circular economy and recycling, but what makes it truly stand out is how these ideas are not only told but embodied by the film itself — created using recycled materials and experimental visual techniques. The aesthetic is truly unique, blending new media approaches such as video mapping and animation with rich cinematographic composition. The result is a hypnotic, almost magical piece that immerses the viewer in a world often ignored or discarded. One of the most fascinating aspects is that we never see the protagonists — only hear their voices. Their way of speaking, their stories, their rhythm and intonation reflect the raw and real texture of Chilean life. The film becomes a kind of sonic and visual archaeology, uncovering stories hidden in objects found in the trash, and the lives of those who rescue and repurpose them. It’s a deeply anti-capitalist film, seeking out new ways of imagining the economy and honoring the dignity of lives lived on the margins. Watching Tesoros felt like wandering through a flea market or street fair — that specific atmosphere of colors, sounds, textures, and stories that only those of us from Latin America truly know and understand. I’ve traveled to many places, and that richness simply doesn’t exist in the same way elsewhere. This film is a transportive experience — a journey into a forgotten world that is, paradoxically, very much alive. The sound design and music are particularly striking, carefully crafted to represent the experience of walking through these markets, observing, listening. The soundtrack is both subtle and expressive, and was even nominated for an award — and deservedly so. Tesoros is a musical and sensitive film, an innovative and moving portrait of another way of living and seeing the world. Tesoros is tender, powerful, and visually stunning. A necessary film for our times.
