The ‘New’ New Latin American Cinema of the 21st Century: Some Narrative Trends

The presentation will consider how a contemporary generation of Latin American filmmakers are using new technologies to tell innovative stories of a rapidly changing continent.  Among the themes of deep concern are migration, urbanization, narco-violence, the effects of neo-liberalism, and the remembered traumas of 20th century political life from the right and the left. Also of interest is how smaller countries — for example, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic — are joining the company of filmmaking nations.
