Santiago, Italia (A Conversation about Nanni Moretti’s Documentary – Nov. 22, 2020)

The program was presented in collaboration with the Department of Political Science and Law at a unique moment in the history of Chile after the November 2020 referendum, and created the opportunity to address issues of democracy and human rights across countries then and now in particularly topical ways. Perhaps this ability to speak to current concerns is one reason that the New Yorker included Santiago, Italia in its list of the best movies of 2020.

Finally, the event also marked the launching of a new event series called “Dentro/Afuera: The Interconnections between Italian and Latin American/Spanish Cultures,” designed in connection with the MSU campus’ designation as Hispanic-serving institution, which was reflected in the collaboration with the Hispanic Initiatives Office. The languages of the conversation reflected these interconnections: the event was presented in English with parts in Italian and Spanish with simultaneous interpretation (the video recording with all three languages can be found here). The audience was made up of students, teachers, librarians, and film directors, among others, joining from Europe, North and South America.
