This seminar offers a curated selection of films from across Latin America, showcasing the region's rich cinematic traditions, political histories, and diverse cultural voices. Through screenings and discussions, students will engage with major movements, auteurs, and themes such as identity, resistance, memory, and gender. No prior knowledge of Latin American cinema is required - just a curiosity about the stories that shape and challenge the continent. All films are in the original language with English subtitles. Taught in English.
