This project forms part of a postdoctoral research initiative that explores the media dimension of international solidarity with Chile, focusing on audiovisual production and dissemination within the context of political transformations in Latin Europe—from the democratic transitions in the Iberian Peninsula to the simultaneous end of Pinochet’s regime and real socialism. Through a multiscalar approach, it concentrates on the Spanish case to examine the circulation of images denouncing the Chilean dictatorship and the human networks that promoted their diffusion in the post-Franco era. As “anti-imperialist” and “anti-fascist” solidarity declined, Spain emerged as a new platform for coordinating anti-dictatorial campaigns. The project investigates how audiovisual production, use, and reception responded both to the denunciation of Pinochet’s regime and to the debates and memories arising during Spain’s return to democracy. It also explores the inclusion of the Chilean case in the “Latin American turn” observed in television and film festivals in the region from the late 1970s onward.
