Rielle Navitski: Transatlantic Cinephilia, Gebunden

Klappentext

"A monumental study of art cinema, postwar cultural politics, and Latin American cinephilia. Tracing the influence of French cultural diplomacy on Latin American film culture, Transatlantic Cinephilia uncovers a fascinating ecosystem of institutions and viewing practices. Rielle Navitski's compelling analysis of how films, ideas, and practices circulated through cineclubs, film festivals, film archives, and film schools produces a rich tapestry of new information about film aesthetics and spectatorship in both Latin America and France."--Kelley Conway, author of Agnès Varda

"This groundbreaking book offers a revelatory new perspective on Latin American cinema at midcentury. Meticulously tracing the histories of film clubs, festivals, archives, and schools, Navitski tells an engrossing story that crosses continents and oceans and helps us understand how the love of cinema has significance that extends far beyond the silver screen."--Alice Lovejoy, author of Army Film and the Avant Garde: Cinema and Experiment in the Czechoslovak Military
"An elegant, compelling account. Rarely does a scholar engage so deftly with such a diverse array of cultural institutions and scholarly communities, and Navitski navigates this massive undertaking masterfully. Transatlantic Cinephilia will be an essential work for an understudied area."--Cristina Venegas, author of Digital Dilemmas: The State, the Individual, and Digital Media in Cuba
