Cheryl, A Young Filmmaker


Before interview Cheryl I had to whait that she finished her speech . She was talking about Roman Polansky. After that, she acceeded to speak with me. Cheryl Marambio is a young cinema student. She is in the third year of her career at the Universidad de Chile. She lives in Conchalí, so she needs to travel from there  to Ñuñoa every day. In the trip, she likes listening to music. She says that she doesn’t like hearing the voices from the other people in the bus.

Speaking about cinema, she says that she has not a specific favourite genre of films, but her favourites filmmakers are Tarantino and Polansky. She likes the way that Tarantino tells the storys and, in the case of Polansky, she loves the topics that he treats in his films. 

Unfortunately, she wasn’t feel well and she had to leave, so I couldn’t ask more things. I know that you want to know about the future of this young filmmaker, but I just can tell you that she is working in a short film that is going to be premiered soon.

Contemplation and Blood


      Kim Ki-Duk is a South Korean filmmaker. He was born in 1960. At the age of 20 years he enlisted in the navy. Five years later he entered in a Buddhist temple and began to dedicate for painting.

He began to work in cinema at the late age of 33 years when he won a script competition. After this, he started a great career filming a new movie every year. He has participated in many important film festivals like Venice or Cannes.

Maybe his most known film is “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring” about a Buddhist monk and his apprentice. The long name of the film is because every season represent a part of life of the apprentice who started has a boy.

I really love how Kim Ki-Duk mixes different things, characters and atmospheres in his work. Quiet and contemplatives scenes with an extremely violence are mixed in a unique way. Other incredible thing is the use of the dialog in his films, like in 3-Iron, where the main characters never speak and we only hear the voices of second characters a few times.
