Description:
Description (English): Cine-Mundial, the Spanish-language version of Moving Picture World, was published between 1916 and 1948. The magazine documents Hollywood’s growing dominance in Latin American markets in the 1920s and the emergence of national film industries, such as those of Mexico and Argentina after the introduction of sound film. Far from being a mere translation of its English-language counterpart, Cine-Mundial focused on issues that were important to its readers in Latin American and Spain—the representation of Latin Americans on screen, the geo-politics of film distribution, and Hollywood’s short foray into Spanish-language film production in the late 1920 and early 1930s. Functioning as both trade publication and fan magazine, its regular columns that featured reports from national correspondents and letters from readers from every corner of the Spanish-speaking world provides invaluable insight into Latin American audiences and their reception of both imported and nationally or regionally produced films. -- Laura Isabel Serna, 2013

Y hemos de reconocer que algunas de esas películas resultaron maravillosas, desde el punto de vista americano; pero en Europa, y sobre todo en el país aludido, no pudieron gustar, por la sencilla razón de que los productores de Hollywood no creen que sea necesaria la escrupulosidad histórica. La Historia es, para ellos, una novela más, y la suelen desvirtuar a su capricho, con tal de hacerla más interesante. —¿Y qué es eso del cinematografismo panamericano? —Pues, sencillamente, el buen deseo de halagar a los países hermanos de América.
