Description

Can you play guitar with one arm? Andrés Godoy proves that it is possible. The documentary El Arte De Perder (The Art of Losing) shows how the unbelievable became possible. Film director Sebastian Saam comes to Tilburg especially from Berlin for this screening to talk to the audience.

Andrés Godoy grew up in a poor neighborhood of the Chilean capital Santiago. At the age of 14 he had an accident and lost his right arm. Godoy had one love at that time: his guitar. For a long time he thought he had lost that dream completely, but the military oppression during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in Chile encouraged him to pick up his guitar again. As cultural resistance. After years of practice, many ups and especially downs, he eventually achieved international fame with his guitar concerts.
