LACS 115 - (CC, IS) Latin America in Documentary FilmSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course critically examines how Latin America as a region, and the people of Latin America as a whole – including the large Latino immigrant population in the U.S. – have been documented, viewed, and represented to global audiences through documentary film, both by domestic and international filmmakers. In presenting the myriad issues facing Latin America historically and today through the prism of social documentary film, the course places an emphasis on the relationship between non-fiction practices and questions of truth, history, knowledge, representation, and voice. In the process, students will explore how the aesthetics, form, and language of social documentary connect into the long and radical trajectory of Latin American cinema.

Credit given for this course or LACS 150C, not both. May not be taken on a Pass/D+/D/Fail basis. (Formerly LACS 150C, Special Topics in Latin American and Caribbean Studies: Latin America in Non-Fiction Film.)
