Abstract

This chapter examines the networks that took shape between Arab and Latin American political filmmakers who contributed to the Third-Worldist project during the 1960s and 1970s. The notion of Third-Worldist cinema differs from the broader notion of Third World Cinema, since it does not encompass all the films of the countries of the then so-called Third World, but rather their most radical tendencies, which were forged under the guidance of events or manifestos such as the Tricontinental Conference in Havana (1966), the manifesto Hacia un tercer cine (Towards a Third Cinema) (1969), and the creation of the Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers (1970). In other words, this orientation included the Third World films and filmmakers most closely linked to national liberation projects, social revolution, and cultural decolonization. This chapter investigates a wide range of film magazines and film events (festivals, filmmakersâ meetings, conferences, etc.) carried out in the Latin American or Arab countries where Third-Worldist filmmakers and critics forged a dialogue.
