From El Megano and Black God, White Devil to City of God and Babel, Latin American films have a rich history. In this concise but comprehensive account, Stephen M. Hart traces Latin American cinema from its origins in 1896 to the present day, along the way providing original views of major films and mini-biographies of major film directors. Describing the broad contours of Latin American film and its connections to major historical developments, Hart guides readers through the story of how Hollywood dominance succumbed to the emergence of the Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano and how this movement has led to the “New” New Latin American Cinema of the twenty-first century. He offers a fresh analysis of the effects of major changes in film technology, revealing how paradigm shifts such as the move to digital preceded new cinematographic techniques and visions. He also looks closely at the films themselves, examining how filmmakers express their messages. Finally, he considers the decision by a group of directors to film in English, which enhanced the visibility of Latin American cinema around the world. Featuring 120 illustrations, this clear, cogent guide to the history of this region’s cinema will appeal to fans of Central Station and Like Water for Chocolate alike.

Millennial alternative religion, almost defies category, truly a book like no other. Practical handbook of revised pre-Christian pan-Germanic folk religion "Theodish Belief." We are only too accustomed to Wicca, Neopaganism, New Age systems, to take one more pop-occultnik handbook all that seriously, but be warned Way of the Heathen is not that. This "revival" is not only real & radical, but often takes the whole belief system of the Western world to talk like an Old Testament prophet, weighing our modern ways & finding them wanting! Psychologically & sociologically sophisticated, WAY OF has a lot to say about social dynamics of alternative religious groups, how to organize & run them, author Gasman Lord has obviously been there, done that. Occasionally, scholarly, though footnote-free, goes in-depth on topics like morals & ethics, oaths, boasts, animal sacrifice, sacral kingship, leadership, followership, poetry, law & custom, non-Augustmian metaphysics, roles of women, true natures of the gods, true role of autochtonous religion in family & community. Gasman Lord rightly calls Theodism a "Wisdom Tradition," it's all of that! Ordering Info: Order directly from THEOD, PO Box 8062, Watertown, NY 13601,
