		Following the European colonization of the Americas, the United States became the world's first modern democracy after its break with Great Britain, with a Declaration of Independence in 1776.
		Minor party and independent candidates are very occasionally elected, usually to local or state office, but the United States political system has historically supported catch all parties rather than coalition governments.
		The ideology and policies of the sitting President of the United States commonly play a large role in determining the direction of his political party, as well as the platform of the opposition.

		Dos Santos again broke new ground in his portrayal of black characters: in contrast to the comic side-kick roles that had made him such a huge star of the chanchadas, Otelo here plays a dignified, intelligent, multi-dimensional black protagonist -- "a role often denied blacks in both North American and Brazilian cinema" (Robert Stam).
		Dos Santos makes wonderfully wicked use of cannibalism as a metaphor for the economic and cultural genocide perpetrated by European colonialists on the Americas.
		Rio, 40 Degrees (1954) and Rio, Northern Zone (1957), dos Santos' samba-fuelled first two features, represented important milestones in the development of this new cinema: eschewing the glossy/frothy conventions of the country's commercial cinema for the grittier in-the-streets aesthetics of Italian neorealism, and unprecedented in their sensitive, complex, depiction of Brazil's usually marginalized black population.

		One of Hungary’s most renowned filmmakers, and one of the most important female (and feminist) directors to emerge from Eastern and Central Europe, Márta Mészáros began making shorts and documentaries in the mid-1950s before completing her first feature in 1968.

	MEXPERIMENTAL CINEMA Catalog Essay
		Covarrubias was not the first to propose such trans-Pacific contact prior to the European conquest of the Americas.
		What can be surmised of Covarrubias' ambitions in the realm of cinema derives from his work as a peripatetic ethnographic filmmaker and his proposed collaboration on an animated feature for Walt Disney.
		Other rolls document street scenes, such as a rural fair in Oaxaca, and the excursion with a group of friends--Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo are visible briefly--to the floating gardens of Xochimilco.

	Americas (English Edition) : Spontaneous frames of movement. (Canadian Norman McLaren's work) @ HighBeam Research
		WHEN CANADIAN FILMMAKER Norman McLaren died in 1987, the world of animated cinema lost both its technological pioneer and its conceptual pathbreaker.
		"I'd feel it an intrusion of an alien kind." Indeed, it was McLaren's genius to give pure abstraction--lines, squiggles, smears and splashes--a human face, to turn the non-objective image, whether a dancing red dash or a blushing blue dot, into a living being with instantly recognizable feelings and values.
		Born in Scotland in 1914, McLaren moved to Canada at the age of twenty-seven to found the Animation Department at

		The much-anticipated screening of “Puerto Vallarta Squeeze” premiered last Saturday night, February 21, to a sold out audience of locals and tourists, some of whom had to literally squeeze themselves into the aisles at the Cinema Bahia to watch the movie.
		The film was presented by the organizers of The Puerto Vallarta Film Festival of the Americas as part of their on-going series of events to raise awareness—and money—for Vallarta’s first international film fest set for November 6 — 14, 2004.
		Squeeze’s Vallarta premier was made possible by the good graces of one of its co-producers, Carolyn S. Chambers, whose affection for Puerto Vallarta and Mexico goes back at least twenty two years, during which she’s also owned a home here.

	La Otra Conquista By Sasha Stone
		La Otra Conquista tells the story of the Spanish conquest of the Americas, but more importantly, the high price the Aztec culture paid, both spirtitually and materialistically, at the hands of the Spanish.
		This clearly wasn't hashed out in five minutes in some Hollywood pitchfest; this is the real deal, one of those films that ends up taking a place in cinema history and remaining there, refusing to be forgotten, dated or ineffectual.
		Though we now know that the beauty and spirit endure, we must remember just how high a price the Aztecs paid, and in some ways, how the Mexican people are still paying for their loss.
