I’m starting a film column on cineSPEAK called ‘Cine alzando voz’! 🎬
Thank you so much Sarah Mueller (Executive Director) for the opportunity to write for the film journal and spotlight the incredible Latinx cinema premiering this year!
While Latinx stories and characters in cinema continue to be depicted through racist stereotypes, we take a deep dive into the films and filmmakers re-framing Latinidad through the column Cine alzando voz, meaning “Cinema raising its voice.” Through thoughtful critique and insightful interviews with Latinx artists, Cine alzando voz interrogates important issues in Latinx cinema such as queerness, womanhood, identity, immigration, and more.
