Excellent- More about Modernity at the Movies: Cinema-going in Buenos Aires and Santiago, 1915-1945
Cinema can reflect the world as it is and offer escape from it, and this study explores how modes of understanding the current moment emerged through the practice of going to the movies in Santiago and Buenos Aires between 1915 and 1945. It analyzes the technology, architecture, attendance, behavior, language, censorship, and overall experience of cinema-going, and how these publications regularly engaged with important topics such as morality and urbanization.

Cinema possesses the remarkable ability to both mirror the world as it exists and provide a respite from it. In her book, Modernity at the Movies, Camila Gatica Mizala delves into the concepts of reflection versus escapism and explores how modes of understanding the present moment emerged through the practice of going to the movies in Santiago and Buenos Aires between 1915 and 1945. Through the analysis of cinema and variety magazines published in both cities, Gatica Mizala examines the technology, architecture, attendance, behavior, language, censorship, and overall experience of cinema-going. These publications regularly engaged with significant topics such as morality and urbanization, contributing to the growth of a cinematographic audience. By shifting the focus from the production of films to the experience of the audience, Gatica Mizala brings together the perception and reception of cinema as a modern art form. This study achieves a unique perspective by examining cinema not as a standalone entity but as an integral part of everyday life in early to midcentury Latin America. It explores the ways in which cinema was incorporated into the lives of individuals and discusses what it meant to be modern during this period. Through her meticulous research and insightful analysis, Gatica Mizala offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of cinema and its role in shaping the cultural landscape of Latin America.
