dc.description.abstract | This thesis focuses on the ways in which Costa Rican filmmakers and the Centro
Costarricense de Producción Cinematográfica (CCPC) privileged the social documentary
format of the New Latin American Cinema (NLAC) movement to critically view current
events from 1973 to 1979. By analyzing a variety of Costa Rican and Nicaraguan films,
primarily documentaries, from 1973 to 1983, and by referring to a number of primary
source interviews, it examines how the 1979 Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua gave an
impetus for Costa Rican filmmakers to support more revolutionary, politicized cinematic
points of view through co-productions and strategic alliances with the Nicaraguan
revolutionary film institute Instituto Nicaragüense de Cine (INCINE). Additionally, this
thesis also aims to provide an analysis of how these incipient national cinemas that
developed in the region during the above-mentioned time period were politically and
socially relevant for an international market. | |
