"I believe that there is not just one Latin American cinema, just as there is no single Brazilian cinema. There are cinemas; made of sometimes contradictory currents that often collide, yet come together in a desire to portray our realities in an urgent and visceral manner." Walter Salles (Preface, The Cinema of Latin America)

MediáticoCinegogía is an open-access website devoted to the teaching and study of Latin American cinemas. This collaborative project is comprised of syllabi, film guides, course materials, a film database and links to other resources. Our users' contributions are essential for creating a robust and useful collection of Latin American film studies materials. Please refer to our "Collaborate" page to become a collaborator. You can also read a recent blog post on Mediático for more information about the Cinegogía project.
