Africa/ Latin America: Intro to Third Cinema
FSFF has up an abridged version of Michael Chanan's 1983 documentary New Cinema of Latin America, re-edited into a priceless intro to Third Cinema: that cinema of the marginalized people of the Third World that took the conditions of underdevelopment as a rhetorical strategy and first principle rather than weakness.
Recall Ethiopian Third Cinema scholar, Teshome H. Gabriel, who passed away recently, had in his early work laid the bridge between the social realism of early African cinema and the manifesto driven Third Cinema of Glauber Rochas, Miguel Littin, Octavio Getino, Fernado Solanas and others (blogged here).
Below, Solanas and Getino's 1968 Third Cinema masterpiece Hora de los Hornos - The Hour of Furnaces, complete with English subs.
