MediaMaker Fellowship

Elisa Leiva Anderson

In the wake of her grandmother’s death, a filmmaker discovers Hi‑8 tapes hidden in a closet, revealing an unfinished documentary from the mid‑90s. As she pieces the film together, she uncovers the overlap between her earliest childhood memories, her grandmother’s public fight for justice against the Pinochet dictatorship, and a city emerging from fascism into the new millennium. Reassembled, the inherited images blur history and imagination, as the unsettled past pulses toward possible futures.
