| | Mexican cinema |
 | | Probably the most complete study to date of Mexican cinema, as Duran Loera states in the preface of the book (ix), Mexican cinema comes forward as a sound, detailed, very thorough compilation of articles on the way and reasons involved in the birth, growth and actual situation of cinema in Mexico. |
 | | Divided into six parts, the first one is a chronicle of Mexico and its cinema that goes from 1896 to 1994 merely juxtaposing data on economics, the political situation, cultural trends and facts related to the cinema. |
 | | The second part, however, deals with the history of Mexican cinema and is in turn divided into three articles covering firstly the silent cinema, secondly the origins, development and crisis of sound cinema (1929-1964), and the third one looks at the crises and renovations of contemporary cinema (1965-1991). |
