"A richly informed and probing analysis of one of the world's most dynamic film-making regions. Indispensable"

Demetrios Matheou, film critic and author of The Faber Book of New South American Cinema

"An essential and highly readable study that investigates cinematic languages of Latin America's vibrant film scene to provide a curated collection on resurgent methodologies of fictional storytelling and documentaries. This extremely useful resource maps the current state of production, distribution, and exhibition, and the political trajectories of the cinema of Latin America. Particularly invaluable is the inclusion of interviews with key players from the moving image sector of that region."
Nico Marzano, Head of Film Programming, ICA London
