Imperfect cinema in Nicaragua

Authors

  • Tania Romero

Abstract

Cinema in contemporary Nicaragua continues to be produced despite an established industrial model in the country. This paper examines the “imperfect” filmmaking conditions that have shaped contemporary national cinema, and the mobilizing effects of video production led by women calling the shots. Examples of these filmmakers include Maria Jose Alvarez, Martha Clarissa Hernandez, Florence Jaugey, and Rossana Lacayo. This paper examines how women filmmakers, since the end of Incine, have adapted to these less-than-ideal working conditions in order to generate a visualization of socio-cultural differences and to preserve the country’s recent history.

Keywords: Incine; difference; imperfect cinema.
