Peruvian Cinema of the Twenty-First Century: Dynamic and Unstable Grounds (03.12.21)
Join us to celebrate the publication of Peruvian Cinema of the Twenty-First Century: Dynamic and Unstable Grounds with editors Cynthia Vich, Associate Professor of Latin American Literature and Film at Fordham University, and Sarah Barrow, Professor of Film and Media at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK.
This is the first English-language book to provide a critical panorama of the last twenty years of Peruvian cinema. Through analysis of the nation’s diverse modes of filmmaking, it offers an insight into how global debates around cinema are played out on and off screen in a distinctive national context.
The insertion of post-conflict Peru within neoliberalism resulted in widespread commodification of all areas of life, significantly impacting cinema culture. Consequently, the principal structural concept of this collection is the interplay between film production and market forces, an interaction which makes dynamism and instability the defining features of 21st-century Peruvian cinema.
Vich and Barrow will be joined in conversation by Ignacio Sanchez Prado, Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Washington University in Saint Louis. The conversation will be moderated by Adela Pineda, Professor of Spanish Director of the Center for Latin American Studies at Boston University.
