Tres Semanas Después plot

On February 27, 2010, an earthquake measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale struck the central coasts of Chile. 500 people were killed, 500,000 buildings were demolished. Three weeks later, with the initial shock over, filmmaker José Luis Torres Leiva traveled to the devastated area to shoot a documentary in eight days. It is not a journalistic report, more a visual meditation on the aftermath of the disaster. Torres Leiva films the collapsed roads, the collapsed houses and the rubble-clearing shovels in the distance as still lifes. The message is clear: this country has become unlivable. And reconstruction begins with further destruction: clearing away the debris before the new infrastructure can arise.
