I Never Climbed the Provincia

A filmmaker's relationship with a changing corner and interrupted vision of the Andes.

Why watch this film?

Directed by Chilean filmmaker Ignacio Agüero ("Cien niños esperando un tren"), awarded Best Latin American Feature Film at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival 2019, and selected at the UNAM International Film Festival 2020; "Nunca subí el Provincia" is a documentary that falls more into the realm of film essay, with a spirit of pure everydayness. It's not about the story of a character, but of several who inhabit a small neighborhood at the foot of Cerro Provincia, in the frosty Cordillera de los Andes. A beautiful historical document that brings together the collective memory of a place like any other, and to which time inevitably brings changes, for better or for worse.
