Sumario: | In the decade of 1940 different Latin American countries developed national film industries whose activities implied a constant tension between nationalistic intentions and cosmopolitan productions. Chilefilms is a noteworthy case of study due to its history and some of the movies it produced, mainly two film directed by Argentine filmmakers: La casa está vacía, by Carlos Schlieper, and La dama de la muerte, by Carlos Hugo Christensen. Taking these productions as a starting point, this article looks into historiography’s traditional concepts in order to propose alternative approaches that will enrichen Latin American classical cinema studies. Therefore, their divergences with classical cinema are considered through their time-space construction and their narrative lines, focusing on their detour from generic and authorial traditions. |
