Preferred term

Third Cinema  

Definition

  • The term Third Cinema was coined in a long and much-read 1969 article by Argentinean political activist filmmakers Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getino that focused mostly on documentary film, albeit in numerous formats. It emerged from the continuing political and economic convulsions in Argentina and more widely through Latin America and across the planet in that decade and the one that followed.
