Supported by Doha Film Institute and featured at the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight in 2022, ‘1976’ is a taut and haunting debut from Chilean director Manuela Martelli. Set during the Pinochet dictatorship, the film follows Carmen, a middle-class woman overseeing renovations at her family’s coastal home. Her quiet life begins to unravel when a trusted priest asks her to secretly care for an injured young man in hiding. As she becomes entangled in the resistance, Carmen is forced to confront the brutal realities of her country—stepping far beyond the comfortable world she once knew.
