About this listen
I was the first Chilean female director
Through time this role turned into a phantom limb
In fact, I became a prolific writer
The picture show is where I moved my first steps
I then was journalist, playwright and author
The one movie I directed was complex
I also wrote the script, whilst my husband helped
With photography and editing effects
Salvador Giambastiani in Chile dwelt
My dear spouse was an Italian immigrant
His love for South America was heartfelt
With him, the Chile Film Co I would implant
Also Guillermo Bidwell joined our project
As well as Luis Larraín, who would enchant
These men on my directorial work leapt
The Agony of Arauco had their aid
The film on the Mapuche people would reflect
Colonists and indigenous I displayed
El Diario Ilustrado praised me
My interest behind the camera swayed
Thus, I worked with my consort anonymously
His sudden death made me part from filmmaking
I embarked upon a lovely writing spree
I hope my name one day will be inspiring
Gabriela von Bussenius Vega
The woman who encouraged to be daring.
