Biography

Parot graduated as a journalist from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and studied photography with Héctor Ríos. She began her career working in various media, such as the newspaper La Época  [ es ] and the television channels Canal 2 Rock & Pop  [ es ] and Canal 13. On the Rock & Pop channel, she was editor of the program Plaza Italia  [ es ]. [1] [2] She also worked with the musical group Inti-Illimani, making reports and music videos. [2]

The idea to create her first documentary, Víctor Jara: El derecho de vivir en paz, arose while doing a journalistic investigation on the Chilean singer tortured and murdered during the military dictatorship. [1] In the film the director used as much archival material – interviews and concerts of Jara – as later interviews with the singer's relatives and friends. [3] Later she premiered the documentary Estadio Nacional, that shows how the eponymous stadium was used as a detention center during the military dictatorship. [3] [4]

Parot also documented the reunion tour  [ es ] of the rock group Los Prisioneros, which gave rise to the DVD Lo estamos pasando muy bien, which has behind-the-scenes content, as well as showing songs played at the concerts. [5]

On the occasion of the reform of the Copyright law of Chile, the director criticized some of its provisions, especially those that affected the work of documentarists. According to Parot, the exception for using works protected by copyright for informational purposes allowed the media to use parts of her documentaries without financial compensation, despite the fact that the media themselves charge for the incorporation of their materials into her films. [6] [7]

In 2015 the documentary television series Chile en llamas premiered on Chilevisión. [8] Comprising seven episodes and presented by Humberto Sichel  [ es ], the series shows some cases of censorship that occurred in the country. [9]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Los Prisioneros</span> Chilean rock band

Los Prisioneros were a Chilean rock/pop band formed in San Miguel, Santiago, in 1983. They are considered one of the most important Chilean bands, and one of the strongest musical influences that Chile has made to Latin American music. In addition, they are considered pioneers of Rock en español by Latin American media and musicians, and the band with strongest socio-political impact in Chile. Their roots date back to March 1979, when their core members entered high school. From their beginnings in 1983 at the Festival de la Canción del Colegio Miguel León Prado to their first limited release album in Chile under the record label "Fusión Producciones", they struggled to make themselves known until they were able to sign with EMI Records in 1985, re-releasing their first album on LP record and cassette. From that point on, they reached mainstream success in Chile, then in Peru. Los Prisioneros created a simple punk sound with a mix of rockabilly, reggae, and then pop rock and synthpop.
