This graduate seminar on emerging cinema in Latin America focuses on thematic clusters such as gender identity, violence against women, the struggle for indigenous rights and recognition of their history, the politics of ecological crises, and the plight of youth who don’t see a viable future. We will focus on films from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, among other cultures. In the month of April, the seminar will connect live to a workshop and screening series in Cuba, with a special focus on Cuba’s role in Latin American Film history and its contributions to the current trends in eco-cinema, which explores the relationship between the natural world, nonhuman animals, and humanity.
