MEXICO MEETING OF PCA/ACA -- DEADLINE EXTENDED !!
The Congress of the Americas at
University of the Americas, Puebla, Mexico
October 18, 19, 20 2001
FILM AND LATIN AMERICA/CUBA
We seek papers that deal with both film in Latin America/Cuba and films
made in North America and Europe that reflect on Latin American and Cuban
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/ Cuban films financed? distributed? In what ways do films made in
these countries "correct" the viewpoint and stories told about them by
outsiders? Who are the intended audiences for these films? What are the
influences on Latin American/Cuban directors? How do the political and
eco- nomic conditions in Latin America/Cuba help or hinder film making?
How are Latin American/Cuban people and history portrayed in films made by
North Americans and Europeans? What impact has Latin America/Cuba had on
Hollywood? What avenues for employment exist in Hollywood for Latino
actors, writers and directors? How has Hollywood perpetuated stereotypes?
or challenged those stereotypes?
