No, Chile's presence at the festival

During the press conference, the talent from No was receptive to the concerns of the different media, which questioned them about the film and about the historic event in which the film took place.

Pablo Larraín said that his films begin with a question, and he makes sure he answers it when he makes a film. In the case of No, the director based the film on a play that had not yet been staged, until he had the idea of adapting it to the screen.

For Gael García Bernal, this project presented a reality that has similarities with that of Mexico today.

Producer Juan de Dios Larraín said that Latin American cinema has a limited distribution and it is difficult for it to receive international recognition. He also declared that thanks to the support of the Mexican distributing company Canana, his productions have reached the world market.
