Paulo Emilio Salles Gomes (1916-77) is revered in Brazil as the first ardent defender, promoter and theorist of Brazilian cinema. A film professor, critic and historian, his dedication to cinema shaped a generation of influential film critics in his home country, and set the foundations for the serious study of film in Brazil. For the first time in English, this book brings together a selection of his essays for an English-speaking audience, with detailed explanatory introductions to each section for readers unfamiliar with the context of the writings of Salles Gomes.By blending together ruminations on global and national cinema, as well as avant-garde film and popular movies, the collection shows how the defence and promotion of a national cinema has been forged through dialogues with international trends, informed by commercial influences, and shaped by global and national political contexts. The book thus introduces readers to the international dimensions of Salles Gomes s engagements with film, and in doing so reassesses the locatedness of his formulations on national cinema and signals their international dimensions.

Autor

With the increase in interest in World Cinema on Film Studies courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level in the UK and USA, the anthology would also be useful for scholars of Film Studies more broadly speaking. Given the centrality of Paulo Emílio Salles Gomes’ theoretical elaborations to Brazilian film studies and to Latin American film studies, this collection will be vital reading for undergraduate and post graduate courses in both film and Latin American studies in the UK and USA.
