Pablo Vierci in conversation with Federico Rosado
–
Universidad Católica de Santa María - Instituto Confucio
The Uruguayan writer Pablo Vierci is the author of a book telling a true story, one that is both unthinkable and extraordinary, which has inspired one of the most moving and striking films of 2023: Society of the Snow. In 1972, Flight 571 of the Uruguayan Air Force crashed in the Argentinean Andes en route from Montevideo to Santiago de Chile. On board were five crew-members and 40 passengers: a team of young rugby players who were going to attend a tournament with some friends and family. The book recreates the incredible story of the 16 young men who survived the snow at 4,000 metres above sea level, without any communication with the outside world, or food or shelter, facing the death of their loved ones. Vierci, who went to school with the survivors, started to write the book in 1973. He later went to the crash site with a group of survivors and their children. He published the book in 2009. In conversation with xx, he will talk about the story, which has been with him for over half a century, and the great work that came out of it. In conversation with Federico Rosado.

Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (teatro)
This event involves the screening of a 15-minute documentary, followed by a conversation between Alejandro Millán, producer of the documentary and BBC Mundo journalist, and Matías Zibell. The Tsimane are one of the 36 indigenous nations officially recognised by the plurinational state of Bolivia. Its 16,000 semi-nomadic members live in the Misión Fátima region, a remote corner of the Bolivian Amazon. Experts believe that it is their very isolation that contributes to the unique way in which this ethnicity ages, something that scientists have been studying for decades.

Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (auditorio)
The Settlers,a Chilean film directed by Felipe Gálvez, opened at the 76th International Film Festival in Cannes and was the Chilean candidate for the Oscar nomination for Best International Film in 2024. Set in 1901, in Tierra del Fuego, it tells the story of three riders –a British lieutenant, an American mercenary and a mixed-race guide– who travel the territory with the mission of preparing a route for the trade in sheep. What follows is the raw, disturbing realty of colonisation: the absolute destruction of the native peoples.

The Settlers

Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (auditorio)
Felipe Gálvez (Chile) is, together with Antonia Girardi, one of the creators of Los colonos, a film that captures the brutality of colonisation and its lasting impact on Chilean identity, set in early 20th-century Patagonia. The film can be seen as part of the festival programme. At this event, the film’s director and screenwriter, Gálvez, will talk with the BBC journalist Alejandro Millán about how he has captured, with a striking visual style, such a profound narrative and complex characters, questioning the official versions of history; it invites us to reflect on the question of injustice and oppression in order to understand the past and its importance in Chilean society.
