HLE 208 -  Social Realism and Cinema in Latin America

Course Units: 1.0
This course examines different styles of documentary and realist film making from Latin America. It looks critically and with a “film-eye” at the aesthetic and socio-political meanings of conventional and experimental films dealing with social reality and its representation.  We will analyze a selective, but historically contextualized and engaging, collection of films that include, among others, Luis Buñuel’s Los Olvidados (1950), Hector Babenco’s Pixote (1981), and Fernando Meirelles’ City of God (2002). CQ: HUM, LCC ISP: FLM, LAS
