Book Description
Film production in Latin America is as old as cinema itself, but local film industries have always been in a triangulated relationship with Hollywood and European cinema. This book situates Latin American film industries within the global circulation of film production, exhibition and distribution, charting the changes that the industries have undergone from the sound era to the present day. Focusing in particular on Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, Tamara Falicov examines commonalities among Latin American film industries, such as the challenges of procuring funding, competition from Hollywood, state funding battles, and the fickle nature of audiences, as well as censorship issues, competition from television, and the transnational nature of Latin American film. She addresses production, exhibition, and distribution contexts and financing and co-production with Europe and the United States, as well as the role of film festivals in funding and circulating films both within and outside of Latin America. Newer trends such as the revival of protectionist measures like the screen quota are framed in contrast to the U.S.'s push for trade policy liberalization and issues of universal concern such as film piracy, and new technologies and the role of television in helping and hindering Latin American cinema.

Category : Motion picture industry
Languages : es
Pages : 338
Book Description
"Este libro compila y sintetiza los informes del programa de investigaciones sobre la situación de los mercados cinematográficos de América Latina, que viene llevando adelante el Observatori del Cine y el Audiovisual Latinoamericano de la Fundación del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano (OCAL-FNCL), coordinado por Octavio Getino. Puede considerarse que esta es una obra precursora por la cantidad y calidad de la información reunida, que comprende tanto a los países que históricamente encabezan las cifras de producción, cuanto a aquellos que, por diversas razones, constituyen los mercados cinematográficos pequeños o las cinematografías más débiles de la región, a las cuales poca atención se les ha prestado. Los trabajos comprenden el vasto campo que va de las pantallas digitales y los nuevos fenómenos y desafíos que estas transformaciones plantean, hasta un análisis de la situación del cine de Latinoamérica y el Caribe en Europa y los Estados Unidos. Se trata pues, de una obra imprescindible para los estudiosos del tema, no sólo porque contiene cifras e informaciones fundamentales para un diagnóstico actualizado, sino también por su nivel analítico. Las reflexiones y recomendaciones en materia de políticas aquí propuestas provienen de un conjunto de especialistas tan lúcidos en sus enfoques y conclusiones, como en la vocación de aportar al desarrollo del audiovisual de la región. De allí que "Producción y mercados del cine latinoamericano en la primera década del siglo XXI" constituya un hito en la trayectoria de la bibliografía latinoamericana en la materia"--from back cover.

Transnational Cinema in Europe
Author: Manuel Palacio
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643904789
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
The attempt to produce films for the international market has led to lively exchanges and meeting points between local and national identity discourses and global processes of identity formation. Co-productions alone can no longer be seen as an incentive for national cultural production. Rather, it is necessary to regard co-productions as a privileged site for an analysis of the relations between identity, nation, and culture. Transnational Cinema in Europe is the result of a collaboration of two research groups in Madrid and Vienna. The book consists of articles by members of both research groups, as well as by several other experts. (Series: Contributions to the European Theater, Film and Media Studies / Beitrage zur europaischen Theater-, Film- und Medienwissenschaft - Vol. 4)

Pólvora, sangre y sexo
Author: Assen Kokalov
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1623966450
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
The book examines the links between literature and film in Latin America by using queer theory and a series of recent cultural productions whose arguments destabilize traditional gender roles and heteronormative masculinity. For many years, the connections between a literary text and its film adaptation have been considered only from the point of view of the latter’s fidelity to the written work, which many scholars imagined to be the original that filmmakers needed to respect. Within the last two decades, however, the idea of adaptation fidelity has been challenged by a number of critics who refute the existence of an original text and promote the notion of an ambiguous and complex relationship between a literary work and its film adaptation. Based on such developments and with the help of queer theory, this book questions and revises several crucial theoretical approximations that analyze the relations between the two art forms in an attempt to overcome the limitations of fidelity discourse. This is the first book-length study that seeks to examine, with the appropriate detail, the connections between film and literature in Latin America through the lenses of queer theory and by focusing on the representations of numerous practices that do not fit within the general framework of heteronormative sexuality.
