El Cortijo (2025)

For over two decades, I have been filming the neighbourhood where I grew up, a working-class area on the outskirts of Santiago, Chile. Once a year, I travel from Zürich to El Cortijo and film the things I cherish and the people I love. Family, friends, neighbours, and animals appear without any hierarchy in this fragmented portrait.
