Nostalgia de la luz (Nostalgia for the Light)

A film by Patricio Guzmán.

ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) y los desaparecidos: the looking-glass reflection of alien abduction narratives.

I wish the telescopes didn’t just look into the sky but could also see through the earth so that we could find them.

    Thank you, Sheila. I must see this.

    Somehow — till recently — I was unaware of the dumping of victims of the Pinochet regime in the northern Atacama, for which I have cherished a romantic fondness and a desire to visit. Still do, although now I feel naive.
