The Story of the Mexican Screenplay: A Study of the Invisible Art
Form and Interviews with Women Screenwriters contributes to the
international development of screenplay studies. While the debate
on the ontology of the screenplay continues, a fact remains clear
for screenwriters: the screenplay is the film's skeleton and the
main base that sustains a story told through images. Certainly,
lack of visibility, including publication, distribution, and
promotion, are some of the problems that the screenplay confronts,
but these are not the only challenges. Traditionally, the form has
been unappreciated and regarded by many as only an initial step in
the complexity of film production. In this study, the author
elaborates on the cultural baggage that the screenplay carries
since it is text imbued with multiple signs that - for various
reasons - often get lost in the process and never make it to the
screen. In this context, the author touches on the concept of
adaptation since it is often a key element in screenplay research.
The Story of the Mexican Screenplay focuses on a general historical
investigation of the Mexican screenplay, specifically on women's
screenwriting. In addition to screenplay analysis, the interviews
with women screenwriters are revealing of various cultural issues
such as gender discrimination in the work place, political
censorship, collective screenwriting, and collaboration among
writers, and with the director. These topics explain, in part, the
double marginalization of female screenwriting in Mexico.
