Abstract

Chilean cinema is a discursive field of the audiovisual industry, still in development stage. Its hi story is loaded with vagueness and multiple beginnings that often break at the outset. It is a kind of cinema committed to social issues, which ar the same time is nor foreign to alienation and censorship from above. It is an artsy type rhat aspires to seem industrial. Chilean cinema narrates from the third world, while 98% of the country's internal consumption (at peak times) pertains to US productions. In other words, it has formed through the absolute sel f-management ofits symbolic capital. Ir is a cinema that is raising ¡rs new breed of direcrors rhrough books and cult movies, direcrors thar seek to understand their role in this industry that roday, with the passing of time, holds audiences captive. It is a cinema rhat ar times walks next to the State, and on occasions solitude becomes its only companion. Lastly, it is a type of cinema founded on its creativity, its self-discovery, and rhe penchant for rranscending ¡ts own vocaríon - understanding, little by little, rhat ¡ts aggregate va lue líes with ¡ts local histories.
