New Latin American Cinema, Volume 1: Theories, Practices, and Transcontinental Articulations

Mapping the historical and cultural contexts of film practices in Latin America, this two-volume collection of programmatic statements, essays, and interviews is devoted to the study of a theorized, dynamic, and unfinished cinematic movement. Forged by Latin America's post-colonial environment of underdevelopment and dependency, the New Latin American Cinema movement has sought to inscribe itself in Latin America's struggles for cultural and economic autonomy.

Volume One explores the formation of the New Latin American Cinema movement, its national and continental implications (including the diasporic/exilic experience) and transcontinental articulations through the writings of pioneer filmmakers and scholars.
