{"product_id":"9781904764922","title":"The Cinematic Tango: Contemporary Argentine Film","description":"The Cinematic Tango: Contemporary Argentine Film explores the cultural politics of over sixty years of filmmaking in Argentina. From the 1940s when film was a successful studio product throughout Latin America to the 1980s post-dictatorship period when national cinema was utilised by the state as a public relations tool abroad, this study offers a comprehensive account of how national culture on film has been shaped, articulated and debated through the lens of state policy and the dynamics of the global film market. This volume also provides in-depth analysis of Argentina's contemporary period of the 1990s under the Menem administration when financial incentives led to the production of commercial blockbusters' and was also a period that afforded new opportunities to first time directors, sparking a recent surge of internationally successful, low-budget, independent filmmaking that has come to be known as the 'New Argentine Cinema'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTamara L.
