Filmmaker Lourdes Portillo sees her mission as ""channeling the hopes and dreams of a people."" Clearly, political commitment has inspired her choice of subjects. With themes ranging from state repression to AIDS, Portillo''s films include: Después del Terremoto, the Oscar-nominated Las Madres: The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, La Ofrenda: The Days of the Dead, The Devil Never Sleeps, and Corpus: A Home Movie for Selena. The first study of Portillo and her films, this collection is collaborative and multifaceted in approach, emphasizing aspects of authorial creativity, audience reception, and production processes typically hidden from view. Rosa Linda Fregoso, the volume editor, has organized the book into three parts: interviews (by Fregoso and Kathleen Newman and B. Ruby Rich); critical perspectives (essays by Fregoso, Yvonne Yarbro-Bejarano, Sylvie Thouard, Norma Iglesias, and Barbara McBane); and production materials (screenplays, script notes, storyboards, etc.). This innovative collection provides ""inside"" information on the challenges of making independent films. By describing the production constraints Portillo has surmounted, Fregoso deepens our appreciation of this gifted filmmaker''s life, her struggles, and the evolution of her art. | Lourdes Portillo by Rosa Linda Fregoso Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Music & Movies & Performing Arts > Movies & Filmmaking > Movie Guides & Reference P10122, Rosa Linda Fregoso<
