freeOK概要：A pure black and white documentary about the scene when the oldest Alcana prison in Valparaiso is about to be permanently closed. It is a prison with a history of over 150 years, where countless people were forced to be imprisoned during the Chilean dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s. This movie tells the story of the last working year of the old prison in Valparaiso, Chile, which closed in April 1999. This is a tribute to this prison and the people who have lived there for 150 years of history. The story told in movies is not through visible reality, but through the most subjective experience of seeing and feeling prison from within. Cristobal Vicente presents stunning black and white images of the daily lives of prisoners in the now closed prison in Valparaiso, Chile. The essence of this movie lies in what we cannot see, what prisoners cannot talk about: torture, humiliation, and corruption. The long and stable shots make the daily lives of prisoners monotonous and unbearable. In the few shots, we walked through the cell door with our camera and could hear cries for help. As we approach the end, the camera now using color photography slowly tears itself apart from this place that is extremely oppressive to the audience, thus ending 150 years of terror. Black and white images leave far more questions than answers, perhaps because of this reason, they remain in the audience's consciousness for a long time. Christopher Vicente Cruz was born in Chile in 1975. He holds a degree in architecture from the Catholic University of Valparaiso, Chile. His paper developed the concept of architectural perspective in cinematography. Cruz studied film photography under the renowned Chilean director Hector Rios.
