FILM AND LATIN AMERICA (For Puebla, Mexico conference in Fall of 1999)
We seek papers that deal with both film in Latin America and films made
in North America and Europe that reflect on Latin American peoples and
cultures.
We are open to a wide range of films and styles. Some specific questions that
might be addressed are:
How are Latin American films financed? distributed? In what ways do films made
in Latin America "correct" the viewpoint and stories told about Latin America
by outsiders? Who are the intended audiences for Latin American films? What
are the influences on Latin American directors? How do the political and
economic conditions in Latin America help or hinder filmaking?
How are Latin American people and history portrayed in films made by North
Americans and Europeans? What impact has Latin America had on Hollywood? What
avenues for employment exist in Hollywood for Latino actors, writers and
directors? How has Hollywood perpetuated stereotypes of Latin America? or
challenged those stereotypes?
