Forward: Call for papers ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 08:27:58 +0200 From: H-Net Announcements Editor <[log in to unmask]> Subject: CFP: FILM AND LATIN AMERICA FILM AND LATIN AMERICA (For Puebla, Mexico conference in Fall of 1999) We seek papers that deal with both film in Latin America and films made in North America and Europe that reflect on Latin American 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 films financed? distributed? In what ways do films made in Latin America "correct" the viewpoint and stories told about Latin America by outsiders? Who are the intended audiences for Latin American films? What are the influences on Latin American directors? How do the political and economic conditions in Latin America help or hinder filmaking? How are Latin American people and history portrayed in films made by North Americans and Europeans? What impact has Latin America had on Hollywood? What avenues for employment exist in Hollywood for Latino actors, writers and directors? How has Hollywood perpetuated stereotypes of Latin America? or challenged those stereotypes?
