Abstract

This communication seeks to address the complex issue of audiovisual creation in the context of transnational mobility. If the transnational dynamics of international contemporaneous cinema have been gaining more and more space in the social sciences, here we intend to articulate the migratory paths of two well-known Latin American filmmakers living in European countries - Brazilian Karim Aïnouz in Germany and Argentinean Pablo Agüero in France- with their films. Indeed, the most recent films of the two directors seems to have taken a “transnational turn”, not only from an economic perspective (being international co-productions) but also in a formal and narrative point of view, mainly picturing stories from outside their homeland. Moreover the entire filmography of these two filmmakers will allow us to interrogate the rapports between cinema and (trans)national cultures in the contemporary world.
