Hidden Chicano Cinema examines how New Mexico, situated within the
boundaries of the United States, became a stand-in for the exotic
non-western world that tourists, artists, scientists, and others
sought to possess at the dawn of early filmmaking, a disposition
stretching from the silent era to today as filmmakers screen their
fantasies of what they wished the Southwest Borderlands to be. The
book highlights "film moments" in this region's history including
the "filmic turn" ushered in by Chicano/a filmmakers who created
new ways to represent their community and region. A. Gabriel
Melendez narrates the drama, intrigue, and politics of these
moments and accounts for the specific cinematic practices and the
sociocultural detail that explains how the camera itself brought
filmmakers and their subjects to unexpected encounters on and off
the screen. Such films as Adventures in Kit Carson Land, The
Rattlesnake, and Red Sky at Morning, among others, provide examples
of movies that have both educated and misinformed us about a place
that remains a "distant locale" in the mind of most film audiences.
