{"product_id":"filming-pancho-isbn-9781859843482","title":"Filming Pancho","description":"On January 3, 1914, Pancho Villa became Hollywood’s first Mexican superstar. In signing an exclusive movie contract, Villa agreed to keep other film companies from his battlefield, to fight in daylight wherever possible, and to reconstruct battles if the footage needed reshooting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough memoir and newspaper reports, Margarita De Orellana looks at the documentary film-makers who went down to cover events in Mexico. Feature film-makers in Hollywood portrayed the border as the dividing line between order and chaos, in the process developing a series of lasting Mexican stereotypes—the greaser, the bandit, the beautiful señorita, the exotic Aztec. \u003ci\u003eFilming Pancho\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how Mexico was constructed in the American imagination and how movies reinforced and justified both American expansionism and racial and social prejudice.“Filming Pancho takes film seriously. It requires a knowledgeable historian like Margarita De Orellana to make sense of it all, to tell us who is who, and why what we are watching is significant.”—Kevin Brownlow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A first-rate contribution to the history of cinema and cinematographic technique.”—Friedrich Katz\u003cb\u003eMargarita de Orellana\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor of \u003ci\u003eArtes de Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e and author of, among other works, \u003ci\u003eCine Mexicano\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEnrique Climent: el arraigo de la imaginación\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Social Documentary in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFilming Pancho\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn King\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Latin American Cultural History at the University of Warwick.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302946328805,"sku":"NP9781859843482","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781859843482.jpg?v=1767726862","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/filming-pancho-isbn-9781859843482","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
