The art and politics of Bolivian cinema

the long version

"In Bolivia, politics have always shaped art, particularly when it comes to film. This book presents Bolivia's most significant filmmakers largely in their own words. Since 1981, Jose Sanchez-H. has interviewed most of the filmmakers featured, and has consistently maintained a commitment to rigorous scholarship and attention to new developments. One of the first studies in English on Bolivian cinema, this work provides the non-Bolivian with important information about Bolivian cinema and its cultural and political context."--BOOK JACKET.
