Reviews
“The sure-footed and historically aware manner in which the thirteen contributions home in on their specific topics while panning out to highlight broader regional and historical concerns means that this collection is illuminating and insightful, with much to commend it to novices and specialists alike.” (David Conlon, Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies, Vol. 2 (1), April, 2018)
"Compelling and far-reaching, New Documentaries in Latin America provides a much-needed examination of the astounding documentary output of Latin America in the past three decades. The volume's wide-ranging essays offer nuanced perspectives on important and innovative documentary makers in the region that include established filmmakers like Patricio Guzmán and Eduardo Coutinho; lesser-knowns like Karen Rossi and Susana Barriga; and media collectives like Chile's Cámara en Mano andMexico's Mal de Ojo TV. The breadth of practices covered invites an updating of previous histories of documentary in Latin America and expands our understanding of the use of video by activist and community organizations, indigenous groups, and regionally focused production arrangements." - Cristina Venegas, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
