Latin American Literature
A Documentary Trilogy
BORGES CORTÁZAR SHUA
Three writers. One century. One continuous tradition of compression, of invention, of what the short form can be made to carry — from Borges's birth in 1899 to the moment these films were conceived, one hundred years later. The argument is stronger when the films are seen together, and the institutions that present them together will be making an argument of their own about what Latin American letters mean to the present moment.

The three films together run approximately three hours, making the trilogy programmable as a single afternoon, an evening with two intermissions, a three-night series, or an anchor for a longer seminar on twentieth-century Latin American literature. The films are available through Heritage Film Project's distribution partners — Kanopy and Alexander Street Press — reaching more than forty thousand public and academic libraries worldwide.
I am inviting Latin American Studies departments, Hispanic studies programs, the Instituto Cervantes branch network, Casa de América, the Residencia de Estudiantes, the Fundación Juan March, university Spanish departments across Spain and the Americas, and binational cultural centers throughout the Spanish-speaking world to consider programming the trilogy together. Having recently relocated to Valencia, I am available across the Iberian Peninsula and Europe at minimal additional logistical cost, and remain available across the Americas through Heritage Film Project's New York studio.
