Community Film Series: 'Nostalgia for the Light'

This documentary explores life at 10,000 feet above sea level in the driest place on earth, Chile’s Atacama Desert, where astronomers from all over the world gather to observe the stars. Guzmán’s observing camera makes unexpected, sublime connections between star-gazing and the Andean heights’ secrets: the human remains of Pre-Columbian mummies, 19th century explorers, and political prisoners “disappeared” by the Chilean army after the fascist coup of 1973. 

"Nostalgia for the Light" is part of the Community Film Series at The Strand Theatre. General admission is $7 and admission with an OWU I.D. is $6. The Community Film Series is sponsored by the English Department at Ohio Wesleyan University.
