Gort Vibes Cinema Club returns to Gort Library

Gort Vibes Cinema Club returns to Gort Library for the winter season this Thursday, 7th of November @ 8pm with ‘No’ directed by Pablo Larraín (Chile 2012).  

The film is based on the unpublished play El Plebiscito, written by Antonio Skármeta. Mexican actor Gael García Bernal plays René, an in-demand advertising man working in Chile in the late 1980s. The historical moment the film captures is when advertising tactics came to be widely used in political campaigns. The campaign in question was the historic 1988 plebiscite of the Chilean citizenry over whether general Augusto Pinochet should have another 8-year term as President.
