 Why Latin Cine Panorama?

Due to its proximity to U.S, the southern America geographical region has been one of the main area of interest for United States. The politics of Capitalism has been continuously in search of proper fields to prepare more benefits and security. That is why capitalistic governments has always had  a tendency to support, or at least not to disagree the policy of dictators such as Pinochet.
In such a context, some cinema professionals from Latin American countries tried to make the films with social-political approach to criticize this kind of interferences. Some directors have taken this approach in a direct way, like Estela Bravo, but some others indirectly implied the same notion.
In fact, most of the discreet charm of Latin American Cinema could be considered as a result of the tendency to provide a portrait of the notion, implying powerful metaphors, which are from the magnificent Literature of Latin America.
While there is such an interesting potentiality, the Iranian audience has not had any serious chance to have access to this cinema during last 25 years. So, to hold the Panorama of Latin American Cinema in Tehran could be a good way to reduce this gap, to provide a proper atmosphere for cultural dialogue, to consider the important cinematographic culture in this area, and to deal with society, history, memory, future, dreams and utopias.
