“One of the most heartfelt renditions of life, love, and memory in recent years of cinema.”—Adam Mullins-Khatib, Chicago Reader

The Eternal Memory tells a profound and moving love story that balances vibrant individual and collective remembrance with the longevity of an unbreakable human bond. Augusto and Paulina have been together and in love for 25 years. Eight years ago, their lives were forever changed by Augusto’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

As one of Chile’s most prominent cultural commentators and television presenters, Augusto is no stranger to building an archive of memory. Now, he turns that work to his own life, trying to hold on to his identity with the help of his beloved Paulina, whose pre-eminence as a famous actress and Chilean Minister of Culture predates her ceaselessly inventive manner of engaging with her husband. Day by day, the couple faces this challenge head-on, relying on the tender affection and sense of humor shared between them that remains, remarkably, fully intact.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize: Documentary Competition at the Sundance Film Festival and the Panorama Audience Award at the Berlin Film Festival. 2023, Chile, DCP, in Spanish with English subtitles, 85 minutes.

Co-presented with the 30th ‘Reel’ Latin America(n) Film Festival at the University of Louisville.
