MEXICO MEETING OF PCA/ACA -- DEADLINE EXTENDED !!

The Congress of the Americas at
University of the Americas, Puebla, Mexico

October 18, 19, 20 2001

FILM AND LATIN AMERICA/CUBA

We seek papers that deal with both film in Latin America/Cuba and films
made in North America and
Europe that reflect on Latin American and Cuban peoples and cultures. We
are open to a wide range
of films and styles. Some specific questions that might be addressed
are: How are Latin American/
Cuban films financed? distributed? In what ways do films made in these
countries "correct" the
viewpoint and stories told about them by outsiders? Who are the intended
audiences for these
films? What are the influences on Latin American/Cuban directors? How do
the political and eco-
nomic conditions in Latin America/Cuba help or hinder film making? How
are Latin American/Cuban
people and history portrayed in films made by North Americans and
Europeans? What impact has
Latin America/Cuba had on Hollywood? What avenues for employment exist
in Hollywood for Latino
actors, writers and directors? How has Hollywood perpetuated
stereotypes? or challenged those
stereotypes?
