[Commlist] New Book: Ecuadorian Cinema for the 21st Century

New Book: Ecuadorian Cinema for the 21st Century

Dr María Fernanda Miño is delighted to announce the launch of her new 
monograph, /Ecuadorian Cinema for the 21st Century/, published with 
Palgrave Macmillan UK.

Ecuadorian cinema has been largely overlooked in film scholarship, 
usually being limited to brief descriptions in Latin American 
compendiums. /Ecuadorian cinema for the 21st century/ would be the first 
major publication in English to fill this gap.  It provides a thorough 
account of film activities during the new millennium, while also 
referring to the country’s previous film history.  Specifically, this 
book discusses the so-called ‘mini-boom” in Ecuadorian cinema, and its 
relation to industry structures, film policy, and the context of 
Socialism for the 21st century, hence the chosen terminology of 
“Ecuadorian cinema for the 21st century”.
