Notes

1. Several basic works in English on Latin American film appeared in the 1970s and early 1980s, key among them: Bradford Burns, Latin American Cinema: Film and History (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1975); Michael Chanan, Chilean Cinema (London: British Film Institute, 1976); Randal Johnson and Robert Stam, Brazilian Cinema (New Jersey: Associated University Press, 1982); and Zuzana Pick, Latin American Filmmakers and Third Cinema (Ottawa: Carleton University Press, 1978). For further reading, consult Julianne Burton's useful volume, The New Latin American Cinema: An Annotated Bibliography of Sources in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, 1960–1980 (New York: Smyrna, 1983), as well as the bibliographies of the books under review.

2. The collection of interviews will be especially useful in conjunction with Zuzana Pick's Latin American Filmmakers and Third Cinema, in which many of the major manifestos and the articles that influenced the development of the movement are translated and combined in one volume.
