The “National” cinema/transnational distribution: the colombian filmic experience in overseas in recent years

Abstract

This paper addresses the Colombian filmmakers’ work, who produce films from different European countries, in order to understand their conditions of productions and distribution. In the light of the theories of diasporic and exilic filmmaking, and “accented” cinema (a concept coined by Hamid Naficy), it is clarified whether these paradigms fit the Colombian filmic experience in overseas or, on the contrary, both the cinema from Colombia and from other Latin American countries require a new heoretical framework. The works studied range from the year 2000 to 2015.
