A Collective Documentary Mapping Chile's Human And Social Landscape

Filmic Map of a Country

During a period when Chilean society started to become more critical about its administration and more invested in reconnecting with a sense of identity, we co-founded MAFI (in Spanish acronym for Mapa Fílmico de un País), a collective of filmmakers and researchers looking to document through observation the country’s current reality.

Pablo Núñez Palma from Third Eye Media is one of the co-founders of this Chilean documentary collective. The project started with the ambition of making an avant-garde web documentary composed of short observational pieces that all together build up a panopticon of gazes. The core concept: Chilean filmmakers turning their eyes to their country.

After the project’s initial success (exhibitions in film festivals and galleries in Europe and Latin America), MAFI produced two feature documentaries based on the same concept. The first one, Propaganda, inquires into Chile’s 2013 presidential campaign. The second, DIOS, explores the spiritual life –and crisis– of Chile’s diverse society.

Media

MAFI.tv isn’t a story with a beginning and an end, but a mosaic of story fragments, as ragged and scattered as reality itself.
