ABSTRACT
The chapter explores issues related to coloniality and cinema, including the nature of the colonial and film gazes, the imperial position of Hollywood as industry and textuality, and the decolonial reactions to them in Latin America. It develops these issues, first, in relation to cinema, then, to coloniality, and, finally, to indigenous and national critiques of the coloniality of cinema. The definition of coloniality—as a Eurocentric structure of power organizing the world economy, science and concepts of the self and others—grounds a tripartite structure (labor, knowledge and subjectivity) of analysis of specific coloniality-related films for the rest of the chapter.
