Stake attention in this memory
A white, rectangular informational sign with dark gray text is affixed to a dark, featureless wall. The sign displays the full text of "Decreto ley N° 679" (Legal Decree No. 679), dated "10 de octubre de 1974" (October 10, 1974). The text is presented bilingually, first in Spanish and then in English. The decree establishes the "Consejo de Calificación Cinematográfica" (Council of Cinematographic Classification) and imposes censorship. Specifically, it states the Council will reject films promoting doctrines or ideas contrary to the foundations of the Fatherland or nation (e.g., Marxism), those against public order, morals, or decency, and those encouraging anti-social or criminal acts. The sign is positioned squarely, with a slight glare reflecting off its smooth surface. No individuals or other objects are visible. This exhibit is located within the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago, Chile.
