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

C I N E M U N D I A I. cual arañazo y una descalabradura sin consecuencias. Héroe es Antonio Moreno que salva de la muerte cuantas veces es necesario a alguna de sus numerosas novias y surge incólume desde el fondo del mar o de entre las llamas de la hoguera donde lo han metido sus no menos numerosos enemigos. Pero, detrás de estos héroes del lienzo, que son los que sacan la cara, hay otros, anónimos, modestos, que luchan y triunfan allí mismo, en la escena del cinematógrafo y que, esos sí, son acreedores al aplauso legítimo y a la admiración de los afectos al arte mudo y hasta de quienes lo tienen en triste opinión. Esos héroes son Caballeros de la Cámara y el Trípode, peregrinos de la Pantalla que, por obtener cien metros de una película "emocional" se echan el alma \ la espalda y afrontan toda clase de peligros, no para diversión del público, es decir, no sirviéndose de sus propias personas para excitar esa admiración, sino mediante la fotografía que, ya desde un paracaídas o ya en el cabo de una cuerda que se balancea sobre el abismo, tomaron ellos a ciencia y paciencia de la Muerte en acecho. Y de esos héroes sin nombre vamos a Abril, 1920 < -> PÁGINA 389
