The realization of Cinema in Chile. History(ies) in Motion has been made possible thanks to the generous collaboration of numerous public and private institutions, both in Chile and abroad, which have contributed archives, collections, works, and essential knowledge.
Without their support and commitment to the preservation and dissemination of audiovisual heritage, this exhibition would not have been possible.
