The object of this short essay will be two films, or rather, a television series and a cinema documentary, telling of the period of the Chilean dictatorship and in particular the activities of a subject that has tried to denounce the crimes and to support the victims: the Vicaria de la Solidaridad. The two texts which I refer to are Los archivos del cardenal (The Cardinal’s Archives), a television series, and Habeas corpus, a movie realized in 2015. The two films recount “the same memory”: that of an institution that carried out the very important work of denunciation, resistance, and support for victims of dictatorship. In so doing, they both refer to the same category: that of the archive. But we will see how different are the two kinds of memory they present.

Abstract

The object of this short essay will be two films, or rather, a television series and a cinema documentary, telling of the period of the Chilean dictatorship and in particular the activities of a subject that has tried to denounce the crimes and to support the victims: the Vicaria de la Solidaridad. The two texts which I refer to are Los archivos del cardenal (The Cardinal’s Archives), a television series, and Habeas corpus, a movie realized in 2015. The two films recount “the same memory”: that of an institution that carried out the very important work of denunciation, resistance, and support for victims of dictatorship. In so doing, they both refer to the same category: that of the archive. But we will see how different are the two kinds of memory they present.
