His 1985 novel and film[3]Ardiente paciencia ("Burning Patience") inspired the 1994 Academy Award-winning movie, Il Postino (The Postman). Passionate about cinema, Skármeta has written several scripts[4] and directed at least two films. Subsequent editions of the book bore the title El cartero de Neruda (Neruda's Postman). Since then, his fiction has won numerous awards and been adapted into nearly thirty different languages.
In 1989, after the end of Pinochet’s military dictatorship, the writer returned to Chile in order "to create political space for freedom". He hosted a television program on literature and the arts, which regularly attracted over a million viewers.
From 2000 to 2003 he served as the Chilean ambassador in Germany.
His 2010 novel Un padre de película was the basis of O Filme da Minha Vida, a Brazilian film released in 2017. Skármeta himself suggested the project to Brazilian director and actor Selton Mello.
