Rodrigo Lira

Synopsis

A collective portrait in which friends and acquaintances explore the complexities of Rodrigo Lira, a pivotal poet on the national scene of the 1980s. The short film exposes diverse literary and personal facets of Lira, while simultaneously fragmenting, reiterating, and juxtaposing the speeches of the group of interviewees, making it in itself a work of audiovisual experimentation. Originally filmed months after Lira's suicide, this film was recuperated and preserved by Universidad de Chile's Film Archive, who were able to release it in 2026.
