Summary:
"A collection of essays that focus on Latinx films in the twenty-first century. It looks at film over a wide variety of genres and their historical, political, and cultural contexts, and considers how production techniques depict the Latinx experience. And it discusses non-Latinx filmmakers who complicate and enrich our understanding of the Latinx experience"-- Provided by publisher.
