Gastón Ancelovici

André ANCELOVICI (1945–2017, Chile) was a Chilean-Canadian documentary filmmaker. After Chile’s coup d’état in 1973, he left the country but returned several times, to capture the historical movements. He was one of the founders of the Colectivo Cine Ojo and participated in the creation of their first documentaries as a collective. Two of his films were shown at the documenta11 Film Festival. Die Fäuste vor der Kanone (1975) is part of the IFFR 2024 Focus: Chile in the Heart programme.
