national cinema (cine nacional )

Contexto del término "Made visible through access-driven film preservation efforts, film prints have served, and continue to serve, a dual purpose as unique objects valued both as empirically sound evidence of the past—particularly of a nation’s cinematic traditions— and as a source of viewer pleasure. In this sense, archivists and scholars, by sharing the same selected sources, participate (for very different reasons) in constructing a speculative historical trajectory of national cinemas. However, the existing framework of national cinema proves highly problematic in the context of early twentieth-century Latin America". (Tomadjoglou, 2017)
