Patricio Guzmán's 'Nostalgia for the Light' Screens on Sky Arte HD
Sky Arte HD is airing Patricio Guzmán's 2010 documentary 'Nostalgia for the Light' to coincide with the Italian release of his new film 'La memoria dell'acqua'. Guzmán won the Silver Bear at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival. The documentary explores the Atacama Desert in Chile, where powerful telescopes scan the skies while archaeologists search for pre-Columbian remains, and families of the disappeared under Pinochet's regime seek the remains of their loved ones. The film blends denunciation with beauty, reflecting on memory—a theme rooted in Chilean history and Guzmán's work, including his 1970s trilogy 'The Battle of Chile'. Sky Arte's website is powered by Artribune, which manages its content and digital interface.
