Reseña del libro "The Rise of Central American Film in the Twenty-First Century (en Inglés)"
Howan overlooked film industry became a cinematic force The first book in English dedicated to thestudy of Central American film, this volume explores the main trends, genres, and themes that define this emerging industry. The seven nations of the regionhave seen an unprecedented growth in film production during the twenty-first centurywith the creation of over 200 feature-length films compared with just one inthe 1990s. This volume provides a needed overview of one of the least exploredcinemas in the world. In these essays, various scholars of film and cultural studies fromaround the world provide insights into the continuities and discontinuities betweentwentieth- and twenty-first-century cinematic production on the Isthmus. They discusshow political, social, and environmental factors, along with new production modesand aesthetics, have led to a corpus of films that delve into issues of thepast and present such as postwar memory, failed revolutions, trauma, migration, popular culture, minority populations, and gender disparities. From Salvadoran documentaries to Costa Rican comedies and Panamaniansports films, the movies analyzed here demonstrate the region's flourishingfilm industry and the diversity of approaches found within it. The Rise of CentralAmerican Film in the Twenty-First Century pays homage to an overlookedcultural phenomenon and shows the importance of regional cinema studies.Contributors: Liz Harvey-Kattou Daniela Granja Núñez Carolina Sanabria Juan Carlos Rodríguez MaríaLourdes Cortés Júlia González de Canales Carcereny Arno Jacob Argueta Tomás Arce Mairena Dr. Mauricio Espinoza Lilia García Torres Dr. JaredList Patricia Arroyo Calderón Esteban E.
