Mexican & Latino Cinema

Catalog description

Course offers a critical examination of cinema from Mexico and throughout Latin America relating to Latino cultural experiences. Emphasis will be on those films that educate viewers about Latino encounters with majority and minority cultures within Latin America. The goal of the course is to analyze these films as works of art as relevant films that stand on their own in film history and contemporary cinema and to discuss these films as cultural, historical, political, and economic products that characterize and reveal aspects, sensibilities and points of view from the represented nations and regions.
