In her authoritative new book, Maite Conde introduces readers to
the crucial early years of Brazilian cinema. Focusing on silent
films released during the First Republic (1889-1930), Foundational
Films explores how the medium became implicated in a larger project
to transform Brazil into a modern nation. Analyzing an array of
cinematic forms, from depictions of contemporary life and fan
magazines, to experimental avant-garde productions, Conde
demonstrates the distinct ways in which Brazil's early film culture
helped to project a new image of the country.
