AN OSCILLATING SHADOW / UNA SOMBRA OSCILANTE
A film by Celeste Rojas Mugica
(Chile, 2024, 72 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
New York premiere

“A game played by two – a father and a daughter. This game, involving chemicals in a film lab, becomes a bridge between two generations who understand and experience photography in very different ways. Will they be able to understand each other? Will they reconnect after the scars of a violent national history, exile, and complex family dynamics? Artist Celeste Rojas Mugica crafts a hybrid, first-person film that reconstructs, with singular humor and a precise touch, the memory of her father amid the political violence of Chile’s dictatorship. Winner of the Jury Special Mention at FIDMarseille 2024, An Oscillating Shadow embraces the ontology of cinema to explore how images from the past can still illuminate our present selves – especially within our most intimate and sensitive circles.”
—Matías Piñeiro
