Résumé
In the two decades after World War II, a vibrant cultural infrastructure of cineclubs, archives, festivals, and film schools took shape in Latin America through the labor of film enthusiasts who often worked in concert with French and France-based organizations. Seeking to promote art cinema and sharpen viewers' critical faculties as a safeguard against ideological extremes in a polarized Cold War climate, these institutions of film culture lent prestige to Latin America's growing middle classes and capitalized on efforts to build France's soft power in the wake of military defeat and occupation.
An original, transnational analysis of postwar Latin American film culture, Transatlantic Cinephilia deepens our understanding of how institutional networks have nurtured alternative and nontheatrical cinemas.
