translated from Spanish: They release on Youtube the documentary about the elite member who abandoned everything and went to live in the mountains

The team of the audiovisual production company Aqua Ideas, spent many days of 2014 in the Andes mountain range, because they set out to portray the life of a man who left the Chilean social elite by going to live the tra nquilidad of the mountains of San Fernando: El Aaño.
Some days traveled by the day and others camped next to the house of El ‘aaño, all to create a cinematic look of the life of this evil lymity, since with a hermit it has a big difference; He loves the company of old and new friends.
“El Aaño”, or Alfonso Pedro Pablo Bravo Lavín (Santiago, 1948), the second of six brothers, studied at the School of San Ignacio de Pocuro and then Law at the University of Chile. He then worked for many years in the management of Tattersal.
Although he moved away from society, in some way society chased him to his remote home. This is how every day many people come to know him and share him, attracted by his history and charisma.
The documentary was premiered with a full room at the Centro Cultural de San Fernando in 2015, and from there began its festival festival in various countries.
Director Christian Pino Palominos, remembers with special affection one of these samples.
“In Spain, the documentary had several exhibitions, including one inside a prison, but the only one I could be present in was in Madrid, in the Tabacalera de Lavapiés, a giant and self-managed cultural center, which among its many activities has a room of cinema forum called La Claqueta. The function was full, the documentary was very well received, several Chileans arrived and at the close we shared with all the audience at the tip of piscolas to crown an entertaining and watered cultural exchange”, recalls.
The filmmaker also comments on the genesis of the work.
“Even though I finished doing a Master’s degree in fictional film direction, I was looking forward to making a nonfiction film; a documentary that focused on a single character. I told a friend, and he told me about Aaño, who I hadn’t even heard of until that moment. A few days next to my partner in Aqua Ideas, Rodrigo Pardo, we went home in the middle of the mountain range, and we shared a roast with him and told him the idea. We had the best reception from him, told him we were going to get financing and we would shoot the documentary again. It took us two years to get the lucas. That’s where we came back and we spent a year recording,” he says.
The documentary has just been released on the YouTube channel, Aqua Ideas TV, where you can also see much of the works of this production company, specialized in cultural content, such as the series “Fear to the Chilean”, “Lee Conmigo”, “In the Huella del Canto a lo Poeta” , among others.
“All our productions are available on our YouTube channel, we have about 5,000 views a day, so it’s an excellent platform to share the documentary, plus it was one of the commitments we had with Aaño, so that all of its friends could see the result of the one-year shoot,” the director said.
In its first 24 hours of opening on YouTube the documentary has already surpassed 1,000 views.
