[Commlist] Latin American cinema: Between theory and practice workshops

Please join us in June and July at BFI Southbank for our third series of 
workshops devoted to re-envisioning film theory in a global context.
‘Latin American Cinema: Between Theory and Practice’ comprises three 
sessions, which can be booked separately or enjoyed together.
For session 1, on 19 June, ‘Depth of Field, Class Conflict and the Latin 
American Cinema of Domestic Service’, Tiago de Luca (University of 
Warwick) will focus on depth-of-field theories in ‘cinema of domestic 
work’. This session will consider whether André Bazin’s foundational 
writings on depth of field can be applied to recent Latin American films 
about the relationship between employers and live-in domestic workers.
In session 2, on 26 June, ‘/Passages/: Travelling in and Out of Film 
Through Brazilian Geography’, Lúcia Nagib (University of Reading) will 
present her prize-winning 2019 trans-artistic film, /Passages/, 
which explores the connections film has with other art forms through 
interviews with a number of Brazilian film industry figures. The film 
will be followed by a Q&A with Nagib.

For session 3, on 3 July, ‘Theorising Mexican Cinema Through 
Archive-Films’, David Wood (UCL) will explore filmmaking as theoretical 
praxis in documentary and experimental archival films from Mexico. The 
session will consider how new readings of Mexican film history are 
created in ‘nostalgia compilation’ movies by filmmakers such as Nancy 
Cárdenas, Carlos Monsiváis, Marcela Fernández, and Ximena Cuevas.
Wed 19 June, Wed 26 June, and Wed 3 July, 18:30-20:30, NFT4 [formerly 
BFI Studio]
