Description / Descripción

This course serves as an introduction to film analysis by studying the development of cinema in Latin America, specifically in relation to the military dictatorships (1970/80s) in the Southern Cone and the subsequent transition period to democracy of the early 1990s in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. We will examine how a variety of classic and independent films highlight important social and political issues, as well as how cinematography, as an artistic medium, grapples with questions of representation, censorship, testimony, memory, and popular culture. This class is conducted entirely in Spanish and the students are typically seniors with highly functional communication skills in the target language.
