Presentation
In 1992, Cinémas d'Amérique latine was created by the ARCALT (Association des Rencontres des Cinémas d'Amérique latine de Toulouse) at the initiative of Paulo Antonio Paranaguá, renowned historian of Latin American cinemas. The journal reports on the news and memory of Latin American cinemas through analytical articles. For wider circulation, since 1997, it has been published in trilingual, Spanish-French or Portuguese-French.
The editorial board launches a call for articles and starting in the fall, one of them are selected, translated and corrected by a team of volunteers in which participate the students of D-TIM (Department of Translation, Interpretation and Linguistic Mediation) of the University of Toulouse Jean-Jaurès (UT2J), to ensure the perfect restitution of this work. The source of the articles is, for the most part, Latin American. Film critics, historians, academics, filmmakers or people working in this field offer articles as well as interviews according to the issues. For more than thirty years, exploring the various aspects of the cinemas of this continent, the journal, A4-sized, approximately 180 pages, is published annually at the end of March, at the same time of the Rencontres de cinéma de Toulouse (Cinélatino). It establishes a bridge between academic research, the gaze of specialized criticism and cinephilia.
