In Cañete there was a large movie theater in the center of town until the 1980s. At that time many things still worked. From a child's point of view, the short film transports us to an ordinary afternoon in Cañete, when people still happily went to the movies despite how difficult life was.

I'm modern, I take the subway

Not rated yet

“I'm modern, I take the subway” is a visual story illustrating how the Santiago subway is, par excellence, a symbol of modernity in the city. In it you can see contemporary art, mass and consumer society, multinational companies, the acceleration of life, etc., so the subway has become an overdose of modernity, with all the contradictions that this brings.
