This study of South American cinema offers a new way of approaching the
variety of films available in the region. It brings to light the
interconnectivity between state-run institutions (film councils,
cinemateques, archives), altruistic bodies (film festival funds, NGOs) and
commercial organisations (production companies, exhibitors and
distributors). Examples of filmmakers, policy initiatives, funding sources
and alternative film networks combine to produce a rich overview of one of
the most significant sites for non-Western filmmaking in the twenty-first
century. There is an awareness of the place South American cinema has on the
international stage and, for this reason, the study involves an in depth
look at the way film products are circulated within national boundaries and
through external global circuits. Drawing on scholarship from studies on
Latin American culture, cultural policy, indigeneity, digital technology,
globalisation, transculturation and the public sphere, new links are traced
between the various fields.
