He Saw Her Burning

He Saw Her Burning

1983 • 20 min
He Saw Her Burning, which is based on a 1983 performance, is a provocative narrative collage, a surreal juxtaposition of two narrated texts. A man and a woman begin their respective tales: He saw a woman burst into flames on the street; she saw an American soldier go berserk and drive a tank into a crowd. Produced while Jonas was living in Berlin on an artist's fellowship, the disjunctive narratives are pervaded with a sense of cultural dislocation and alienation. The man and woman occupy separate narrative spaces as they tell their stories, which are intercut with a pastiche of word games, narrative reenactments, filmed sequences, isolated gestures and objects. Memory — elusive and ephemeral, personal and collective — is the catalyst for this complex work.

How Oppression Strikes

How Oppression Strikes

1983 • 40 min • Sweden
Peter Nestler, an important German filmmaker with an extensive filmography, agrees with Chilean filmmaker Rodrigo Gonçalves, exiled in Sweden, to make a documentary on PIDEE (Protection of Children Harmed by the State of Emergency) and on FASIC, a Catholic organisation for the defence of human rights. It is one of the first clandestine films to be made during the period of the dictatorship, and provides an insight into the state of repression in which the population was living. The filmmakers entered the country in 1982 and clandestinely shot several films in the country. Among the testimonies is an interview with the widow of Hugo Araya, "El Salvaje", filmmaker and photographer assassinated on 11 September 1973. The film's credits list "Sergio Bustamante" as co-director, a fictitious name invented by Gonçalves because he was still in exile. "How oppression strikes " won the FIPRECI prize at the Oberhausen Festival, Germany, in 1983.
