For its 36th edition, FIDMarseille remains true to its mission: to spotlight independent cinema that is attentive to the echoes of the contemporary world and to the stories that reveal its fractures, both intimate and collective.

Cartas a mis padres muertos, Letters to My Dead Parents

Ignacio Agüero

Chile, 2025, Color, Black and white, 106’

World Premiere

What do you tell your dead parents? Combining family archives and glimpses of today, the filmmaker weaves together fifty years of his life and the socio-political history of Chile. The montage wanders through the ages, between light and shadow, without ever leaving the joy.
