I Symposium of Latin American and Caribbean Cinemas / Simposio de cine Latinoamericano y Caribeño

Margins in Motion: Latin American and Caribbean Cinema and the Ethics of Representation

This one-day symposium brings into focus the ethical challenges and political stakes of representing marginalized experiences in Latin American and Caribbean cinema. Through three thematic panel sections—on marginalized musical traditions, the depiction of contested or non-normative motherhoods, and the visual treatment of illness, disability, and environmental harm—the event interrogates how film addresses ethical witnessing and social critique. Moreover, the program will feature a keynote speaker, and a screening of a notable contemporary film followed by a conversation with its director.

Organized by:

Reynaldo Lastre, Justo Planas, Juan G. Ramos

Cosponsored by the Department of Spanish and by the following Le Moyne Departments: World Languages, Literatures and Cultures; Dean of Art and Science Office; Noreen Reale Falcone Library and by ArtMattan Productions
