Dutch Premiere: Nae Pasaran!

1974. In solidarity against the brutal Chilean coup six months earlier, Scottish factory workers know where they stand. They refuse to repair aircraft engines from the Chilean Air Force. Through sheer persistence, they keep the engines in Scotland for four years, until they mysteriously vanish one night. Forty years later, the tremendous impact of their gesture, long believed to be meaningless, is finally revealed.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with the film director, Felipe Bustos Sierra.

Bustos Sierra is a Chilean-Belgian film director, producer and editor based in Scotland. His debut feature-length documentary, Nae Pasaran (2018), won the Best Feature award at the 2018 British Academy Scotland Awards, where Sierra was also nominated for Best Director (Factual).
