Abstract
The Constituent Assembly in Chile, as well as the protests that took to the streets of the country in 2019 and strengthened the cry for a new Magna Carta, liven up a debate on the memory and permanence associated with the Chilean dictatorship. It is in this context that we propose a reading of the film Aquí no ha pasado nada (2016), directed by Alejandro Fernández Almendras, seeking to demonstrate how the narrative, although set in the mid-2010s, promotes a strong reflection on authoritarianism. Chilean, whose roots not only remained after the fall of the dictator, but also have origins that predate him, going back to the country's slave-holding past and the genocide of native peoples. In order to do so, we resort not only to an analysis of the relationship between cinema and memory, as well as a possible relationship between the cinematographic work and literature.
