SPAN 416

This course surveys roughly one hundred years of Latin American film, from 1896 to the present, with a focus on feature-length narrative films. As its title suggests -- a riff on the title of Gabriel García Márquez's celebrated novel -- its overarching theme is the role film has played in shaping collective identities(national, racial, sexual, etc.) throughout the region. That is, this course tracks the development of film as a technology and as a form of artistic expression in Latin America, as well as the social, political, and economic realities that it represents and shapes.
