Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media, Double Issue 29–30, Coming to Latin America. Now Available Online.
“Coming to Latin America”, edited by Lawrence Alexander and Javier Pérez-Osorio, engages with non–Latin American filmmakers who have produced work in and about the continent. As the Editors explain, it “interrogates the foreign gaze not because it is more important than that of practitioners from the continent but because, rather than simply reproducing extractive cinematic practices, we believe these works can become a catalyst for new epistemic pathways.”
We are delighted to announce publication of a double issue of Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media:
Issue 29–30 – https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.2930
“Coming to Latin America”, edited by Lawrence Alexander and Javier Pérez-Osorio, engages with non–Latin American filmmakers who have produced work in and about the continent. As the Editors explain, it “interrogates the foreign gaze not because it is more important than that of practitioners from the continent but because, rather than simply reproducing extractive cinematic practices, we believe these works can become a catalyst for new epistemic pathways.”
We invite you to follow these pathways, and the issue’s four thematic sections that delve into notions of sexuality, ethnography, indigeneity, memory, and transnationality. We also invite you to enjoy the podcast, in which the Editors discuss the issue in detail.
The issue also includes a dossier on “Mapping Screen Heritage”. Edited by Rinella Cere, James Fenwick and Danilo Giglitto, it stems from the conference Heritage, Community, Archives: Methods, Case Studies, Collaboration, held in 2023. It comprises a selection of articles and papers that, in the Editors’ words, “indicate the kinds of approaches and methods increasingly being adopted in the use of film and media archives and the ways in which film and media history are being reframed as a result.” The issue is complemented by a book reviews section edited by Jill Murphy.
Alphaville is a diamond open access journal that charges no fees to either authors or readers. We wish to acknowledge all the authors, editors, peer reviewers, and the colleagues at the Boole Library, University College Cork who contributed to this double 2025 issue of Alphaville.
Happy reading,
Jill Murphy, Laura Rascaroli, and The Editorial Board
