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”.

Table of Content:

  * Introduction
  * The Case for an Ecuadorian Cinema for the 21st Century
  * Commercially Released Narrative Features During the /Ley de Cine/ Years
  * Making Sense of the Past: Documentary and Memory in Ecuadorian
    Cinema for the 21st Century
  * Ecuador’s Vernacular Cinema: Underground, Popular, and Neoliberal?
