"How do the islands and archipelagos of the New World figure in Latin American cinema?
Comprising sixteen essays and a critical introduction, The Film Archipelago: Islands
in Latin American Cinema addresses this 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 problematize
islands. The book explores a diverse range of films that extend from the Chilean documentaries
of Patricio Guzmán to work on the Malvinas/Falkland Islands, and films by Argentine
directors Gustavo Fontán and Lucrecia Martel. Chapters focus on Rapa Nui (Easter
Island), the Mexican Islas Marías, and the Panamanian Caribbean, and on ecocritical,
environmental and film historical aspects of Brazilian and Argentine river islands;
on Haitian, Puerto Rican, and Guadeloupean contexts; and on the complex location of
the San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina archipelago in Colombian media archives.
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,
fragility and dependency. As a whole, the collection demonstrates through a series
of rigorous and nuanced analyses 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"
