| Summary: | Cinema between Latin America and Los Angeles aims to flesh out some of the gaps between the generally accepted dichotomy between Hollywood and Latin America, American imperialism and Latin American nationalism, in order to produce a more nuanced view of transnational cultural relations in the western hemisphere. The essays examine the multifaceted relationship between Latin American cinema and Los Angeles, analyzing Mexican-American moviegoing in Los Angeles, the city as a nodal point through which talent, films and criticism traveled across the continent and the ways in which the vantage point of Los Angeles prompts us to reconsider the transnational dimensions of national cinemas. Contributors are scholars and archivists working in Latin America and the United States. |
