  • Your films, filmmaker Sapiaín, are frames of fire etched into human memory; they are never forgotten and leave a beacon to continue on the journey. Wait for us there in the homeland of all filmmakers, camera raised high, head held upright; the dark birds circling above today in search of rubble will shatter against your noble chest, they will shatter against your youthful brow.
    Miguel Littin on Cinechile
  • Claudio Sapiaín is capable of entering the realm of social realism and immediately afterwards wandering through delirious, dreamlike zones. Claudio Sapiaín acts through pure presence: through his talent, his films, documentaries and fiction, his authorship, his manner, his unique gaze. Claudio Sapiaín is a good director.
    Gregory Cohen on Cinechile
  • Among the attributes of his works highlighted by the university is the versatility of his creative talent, which enabled him to narrate and record, through aesthetic and social sensitivity, the most painful political moments in the history of Chile.
    Gabriela González F. on Cinechile
