This seminar examines contemporary Latiné cinema, focusing on films produced in the U.S. by the Latiné diaspora who represent a significant and growing portion of the US population. Through an analysis of cinematic techniques, narrative styles, and thematic elements, the course will investigate how Latiné filmmakers address issues such as identity, gender, race, family, migration, colonialism, the Dreamers, and politics. Students will explore how Latiné cinema serves as a medium for both cultural heritage and resistance, offering visions of defiance against socio-political restraint and aspirations for a transformed future.
