El Deseo Coproduces Latin-American Space
2012
Desde los años noventa el cine de Pedro Almodóvar y las coproducciones patrocinadas por su productora, El Deseo, SA, se han enmarcado en un contexto trasnacional con un creciente énfasis en diversos aspectos audiovisuales de la cultura hispanoamericana. Mucho más profundo que un mero esfuerzo comercial para expandir la circulación de sus producciones al ámbito hispanoamericano, estas películas en su conjunto constituyen un discurso sobre la trasnacionalidad de una comunidad marcada por la disminución de la hegemonía de culturas nacionales. Bajo la marca El Deseo, estas películas disponen de una serie de recursos técnicos y estéticos cuyo objetivo es construir una puesta en escena reconocible por diversos públicos latinos. En particular, las estrategias movilizadas para trasformar los espacios de acción cinematográfica en escenarios trasnacionales reflejan el cometido de cultivar en este público espectador la idea de una comunidad latina sin fronteras que reparte una herencia cultural común.

Luis Alcoriza; or, A Certain Antimelodramatic Tendency in Mexican Cinema

At the center of Luis Alcoriza’s award-winning 1971 filmMecánica nacional(National Mechanics) we find a scene that self-consciously parodies one of the prominent tropes that historically have shaped Mexico’s movie melodramas: the cult of the iconic maternal figure.

A television crew assigned to cover the racing event captures

2003
Over the last two decades formulas for international co-productions with European producers and state agencies have increasingly dominated much Latin American film production.

These co-productions usually involve a dominant share of investment from European state television and quasi-state funding agencies, and more modest participation from various combinations of Latin American state organizations or individual producers.
2
For European investors, such collaborative schemes reflect a diversity of overseas interests in the region, primary of which has undoubtedly been the desire to exploit images of Latin America as exotic cultural objects. On the Latin American side, these collaborations appear driven by the imperative to reconstitute local markets after the long-term loss of more than half the Latin American movie-going audience during the 1980s.
3
Film authors have reemerged as key players in this Latin American audiovisual cultural scene of recent years. Struggling to survive creatively, compelled by circumstance to serve as mediators between the business and art of Latin American film, they find themselves forced to negotiate their own political and artistic visions in accordance with the commercial demands of global film finance arrangements.
