,” a look at love and Alzheimer’s disease that won the grand jury prize for world documentary at this year’s Sundance.
A U.S. theatrical release kicks off on Aug. 11 in New York. It will be followed by engagements in Los Angeles and San Francisco on Aug. 18, with a limited national roll out to follow. Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi directed the movie, which could be a contender for the documentary Oscar. Alberdi is the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker behind “The Mole Agent.”
To that end, “The Eternal Memory” played at the Berlin Film Festival, where it was the runner up for the audience award. A robust international festival campaign is already in the works, including stops at CPH:DOX, Hot Docs, and DocAviv, Hamptons Summer Docs and DC DOX. “The Eternal Memory” centers around Augusto Góngora and Paulina Urrutia, who have been together for a quarter of a century. Eight years ago, their lives were forever changed by Góngora’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. As one of Chile’s most prominent cultural commentators and television presenters, who worked through the 1970s and 1980s to expose the Pinochet regime and later labored to ensure no one forgot those horrors, Góngora has built an archive of memory.
The film is produced by Maite Alberdi, Juan De Dios Larraín, Pablo Larraín and Rocío Jadue. Executive producers are Marcela Santibañez, Daniela Sandoval, Nicholas Hooper, Julie Goldman, Christopher Clements, Chandra Jessee and Rebecca Lichtenfeld.
