LLC47: Interdisciplinarity through Latin American Film

Collaborative Goals

Our goal is to foster conversations across music, language, literature, theater, and media through contemporary films from Latin America. We seek to:

• Invite film directors, artists, and producers from Latin America to engage directly with scholars and students across Corridor institutions on the ethical, political, and cultural dimensions of representation.
• Host presentations, screenings, symposia, and seminars to foster cross-cultural dialogue among different departments, disciplines, and institutions.
• Rotate activities across participating campuses to expand access, share responsibilities, and strengthen interinstitutional collaboration.
• Support students in courses that specialize in media studies through conversations with participants in the Latin American film industry and exposure to current debates in the field.
• Provide opportunities for students to attend events, participate in discussions, and engage informally with visiting guests.
• Encourage interdisciplinary exchange among fields such as languages, literature, music, theater, and visual arts, highlighting film as a space where aesthetic practice intersects with broader social questions.
