Dear Screen-L Members: I wanted to let you know about a special upcoming
screening series in New York City that the cineastes among you will find
intriguing: 

Kicking off on September 5 with the New York theatrical premiere is Patricio
Guzman's SALVADOR ALLENDE. A leftist revolutionary or a reformist democrat?
A committed Marxist or a constitutionalist politician? An ethical and moral
man or, as Richard Nixon called him, a "son of a bitch"? In SALVADOR
ALLENDE, acclaimed Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán returns to his native
country thirty years after the 1973 military coup that overthrew Chile's
Popular Unity government to examine the life of its leader, Salvador
Allende, both as a politician and a man.

Running alongside our nine-day premiere engagement of Patricio Guzmán's
SALVADOR ALLENDE, Anthology Film Archives will present a series of programs
devoted to classic and radical Latin American cinema (and its legacy).

At the heart of the series are the films of Guzmán, who has spent thirty
years constructing a history of his country unparalleled in scope,
commitment, and cinematic dynamism, most famously in the astounding,
three-part BATTLE OF CHILE, a document of the final nine months of the
Allende government and the coup that toppled it on September 11th, 1973. We
will also screen Guzmán's CHILE, OBSTINATE MEMORY, the story of his return
to Chile to screen THE BATTLE OF CHILE for his countrymen and women for the
first time, and THE PINOCHET CASE, the story of the legal efforts across two
continents to bring General Augusto Pinochet to trial for the crimes of his
dictatorship. 

This will be the first time the complete sequence of Patricio Guzmán's films
tracing the history of Chile over the past 35 years has been screened in the
U.S.
