The Changing Faces of Latin America (19th to 21st Centuries)

The workshop examines how Latin American history is represented in international cinema, looking at events spanning the period from the 19th century process of nation-building to the national, regional and international dynamics of the modern day.

Participants will be guided through a selection of particularly thought-provoking films and documentaries which highlight relationships between history and cultural memory. Participants will learn how to watch audiovisual productions with a critical eye, thanks to their deconstruction of narratives and historical imaginations.
