He wrote “You can watch Chilean identity with documentary cinema” on the festival’s plan for screening Chilean documentary cinema perspective.

"The documentary cinema is the art by which we look at ourselves to reflect our history and identity," he said, adding, "Historically; these documentaries have been part of social and political processes in Chile that seek to find a way to reflect on ourselves as well as to build a better and more just society".

"At the time that Chile is experiencing an important juncture in terms of social change, the documentary cinema is like a window through which we can watch our identities and at the same time invite the world to become aware of our story and take action in this transformation and join us" he added.

"Today, our power in our narratives reflects the fact that we, as Chilean documentarians, work collectively. We are part of a struggling nation, and our diversity is our greatest strength", he noted.

The Cinema Vérité will run in different sections, including National, International, and Martyr Avini Prize, Entrepreneurship Documentary Competition, CoronaVirus Special Section, Side Sections and commemorations.

The 14th Cinema Verite will be running online from December 15 to 22 in Tehran.
