Interesting facts

Julio Begins in July is a 1979 Chilean coming-of-age period film directed by Silvio Caiozzi and written by Gustavo Frías. It is one of the few Chilean feature films made and released in the first decade of the Pinochet dictatorship.

Production

The film was shot in Pirque and Calera de Tango (with the curious coincidence that filming began in July 1976). Due to a severely limited budget, actors and crew members received only minimal compensation for their participation. It was shot in 16 mm black and white format and later transferred to 35 mm and sepia format in laboratories located in the United States.
