Description
20 Years in the making; Independent Latin Canadian Cinema“To be Latino is thus somewhat like directing a loquacious orchestra without a score, to undergo a seemingly endless negotiation of identity and difference from both inside and outside a multifaceted prism, and to be involved in a constant search for an inter- and intra-community common ground.” Elena FederEchoing the film screenings, the issues and ideas discuss at the panel will cover all aspects of the diasporic experience of the Americas. The majority of the presenters residing in Canada who have also immigrated from elsewhere in the continent. About one-third are non-Latin filmmakers, academics, or both, whose work exhibits different foci and degrees of concern with border-crossing issues and post-national diasporic identity formations.In reflecting on the history, the panel aims to consider the framework evolution that will be needed to support Latin Canadian independent filmmaking into the future. The question of the ongoing need for spaces for culturally specific media arts exhibition and their relevance to future generations of independent Latin-Canadian filmmakers is being questioned, and this question will serve as the starting point for discussion on this panel.Panelists include notable Latin American media artist and programmers such as Ricardo Acosta, Alejandro Ronceria, Jorge Lozano, and Sinara Rozo.With this special program we aim to showcase the achievements and talent of our filmmakers and their integral role in the artistic identity of the Canadian cultural panorama.
