Invited to Chile in 1962, documentary filmmaker Joris Ivens taught and collaborated with students to create A Valparaíso, a poetic portrait of the historic port. The film juxtaposes the city’s illustrious past with its 1963 present, revealing 42 hills, wealth and poverty, bustling streets, stairs, rack railways and bars. Shifting from black‑and‑white to colour, it concludes on a hopeful note as children play among the hills.
