ItemMaximiliano Schonfeld’s Films of the Volga Germans in Entre Ríos: About the Neoliberal Devil in Argentine Cinema(Palgrave Macmillan, 2018-07-21)This chapter deals with Maximiliano Schonfeld’s work with and about the rurally-based Volga German community in the Argentine province, Entre Ríos. The films of the young Argentine director interlink themes of social marginality, rural setting and neoliberal critique. Utilising documentary and fictional modes, open narrative structures and enticing visuals, they draw pictures of a community in crisis. Consumer culture has begun shaping the desires of younger Volga Germans, while a concentration of capital and business in the agricultural sector threatens the existence of small-scale businesses. With reference to the shorts Esnorquel (2006), Entreluces (2006) and the feature film Germania (2012), the author argues that Schonfeld’s filmmaking is an act of resistance to the loss of community-based living and working structures in rural environments.

ItemContemporary Latin American Cinema and Resistance to Neoliberalism: Mapping the Field(Palgrave Macmillan, 2018)This chapter investigates the relationship between neoliberalism and Latin America filmmaking from the 1990s onwards. Which impact did the privatizing of state-owned companies have on distribution and exhibition arrangements? How did narrative and aesthetic formats reflect these changes? In which way does contemporary Latin American cinema criticize but also benefit from neoliberal advancements? The author argues that there are loopholes within spaces of commodification that invite criticism and resistance. Initiatives on national, regional and pan-regional level support Latin American film and the ever-expanding funding scape offer opportunities to get film projects off the ground. Filmmakers use the subversive potential of genres to capture specifically Latin American experiences and sensibilities, reflecting on neoliberal ideology, its middle-class conventions and moral regimes.
