Lecture: Diasporic Aesthetics, Intermedial Dialogues. The films of Nicolás Guillé Landrián
Afro-Cuban filmmaker and artist Nicolás Guillén Landrián’s final cinematic work in exile, Inside Downtown, co-directed with Jorge Egusquiza, has barely been discussed in the growing critical literature on his oeuvre. This omission points to the persistent difficulties of making visible cinematographic works produced outside national production systems. However, it also derives from the gaps and displacements in the supports and media that inevitably accompany diasporic production, and that often disguise unexpected continuities in the trajectory of an artist.
Jessica Gordon-Burroughs is Lecturer in Latin American Studies and Visual Culture at the University of Edinburgh. Her essays have appeared in Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies, Journal of Cinema and Media Studies and Discourse.
