AMCV 1900Z - Latinos and Film

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Analyzes the way Latino ethnicities have been constructed-and misrepresented-in Hollywood films from the silent era to the present, and examines contemporary work by Latino directors, producers, screenwriters, and actors who produce films that counteract the negative stereotypes of Hollywood films with more accurate, complex, and positive images of their own histories and cultures. Weekly screenings both in and out of class and readings that introduce a new body of film criticism from a Latino perspective.
