An Educational Website
The Latam-Films project was created by a group of graduate students in Dr. Cynthia Tompkins's Latin American film class at Arizona State University in the Fall of 2015. As this database grows, we welcome you to share your comments and suggestions and engage in a fruitful discussion about the remarkable contributions of Latin American filmmakers.
​María José Domínguez (ASU) conceived of the idea for the website, its organization and design. She is thankful to her colleagues Vera Coleman, Thomas Shalloe, and Alejandro López, who collaborated in this ambitious project. They wrote the summaries contained in Latam-Directors and Latam-Movies and are in charge of editing the websites.
