Panel - History and Social Memory, A Self-Reflection From Latin American Cinema

Date & Time

April, 19th at 8:00 PM

Venue

Instituto Cervantes

Description

History often ignores the voice of the disenfranchised. Latin America is no exception, yet through social memory as a point of departure, film directors are attempting to insert often-ignored voices to expand our understanding of history. A panel of directors, moderated by Javier Rioyo director of the Instituto Cervantes, will discuss, among other topics: Indigenous communities and political ideology; subaltern voices and hegemonic discourses; visibility and representation of subgroups in the media; reconciling war crimes and restorations from ethnic, religious, and gender perspectives. In collaboration with the National Museum of the American Indian.

Moderator:

Javier Rioyo (Director of Instituto Cervantes NY)
