Moving Pictures o Los Autos de Caracas is a documentary on Venezuela by former Dialogue staff member Chris Moore.  It will premiere on October 7th at the Latin American Studies Association Conference in Toronto, but the Dialogue is hosting a streaming version of the film in its entirety.

The documentary chronicles the trajectory of a variety of Venezuelans’ lives in the four years since Hugo Chávez’s re-election.  It contemplates what these stories mean for the legacy of Chávez’s rise to power and for the future of this fascinating country, examining a nation as it grapples with its many autos–el automóvil, la autopista, el autorretrato, la autoleyenda, la autonomía, la autosostenibilidad, la autocrítica, and others.
