UNWELCOMED
Chile 2025 – Director: Sebastián González, Amílcar Infante – Original language: Spanish – Subtitles: English – Length: 70 min.
Somewhere in northern Chile, a mob chases Venezuelan migrants who have traveled thousands of kilometers in search of one thing: work and a decent life. Bird's-eye views of Chile's barren yet beautiful landscape contrast with close-ups of the protagonists. The complexity of migration on the other side of the ocean holds up a mirror to us. S.G.
This film contains explicit descriptions and depictions of xenophobia and violence.
