INTRODUCING CIFF LOVE LETTERS: Valentines day has come early! We’ve thought a lot this year about how we can build connections between audience members and filmmakers within a virtual space. One of the hardest things about this year for filmmakers, is that they have not been able to forge spontaneous connections with audiences and hear from them directly. If you’ve seen a film you have loved, click HERE to write a love letter to a filmmaker!

Songs of Repression will screen virtually from October 2-12, 2020. This film will be only available to viewers in the United States.


At the foot of the Andes Mountains in Chile lies an idyllic German colony called Villa Baviera (Bavarian Village). However, the beauty hides a grim past. This film explores how the residents of the colony use different strategies to cope with traumatic years of abuse, religious fanaticism and complicity in the worst atrocities of the Pinochet regime.
