How do the islands and archipelagos of the New World figure in
Latin American cinema? Comprising 15 essays and a critical
introduction, The Film Archipelago: Islands in Latin American
Cinema addresses this question by examining a series of
intersections between insular spaces and filmmaking in Latin
America. The volume brings together international scholars and
filmmakers to consider a diverse corpus of films about islands,
films that take place on islands, films produced in islands, and
films that problematise islands. The book explores a diverse range
of films that extend from the Chilean documentaries of Patricio
Guzman to work on the Malvinas/Falkland Islands, and films by
Argentine directors Gustavo Fontan and Lucrecia Martel. Chapters
focus on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), the Mexican Islas Marias, and
the Panamanian Caribbean; on ecocritical, environmental and film
historical aspects of Brazilian and Argentine river islands; and on
Cuban, Guadeloupean, Haitian, and Puerto Rican contexts. The Film
Archipelago argues that the islands and archipelagos of Latin
American cinema constitute a critically interesting, analytically
complex, and historically suggestive angle to explore issues of
marginality and peripherality, remoteness and isolation, and
fragility and dependency. As a whole, the collection demonstrates
to what extent the combined insular and archipelagic lens can
re-frame and re-figure both longstanding and recent discussions on
the spaces of Latin American cinema.
