Altar of Stars, Virgins, and Clowns

"The circus never dies; it only changes its tent."

Cocoliche and Chocolate, two emblematic "Tonys" (a comedic clown central to Chilean circus culture) guide us through an intimate dialogue into the depths of their stage and their memories. As members of "Los Jóvenes del Ayer" a circus organization for seniors, they confront a question as inevitable as it is poetic: How do they imagine their final performance? In this narrative, the preparation of a final act intertwines with the creation of a symbolic altar.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
