Cultura de la Pantalla en Monterrey (1895-1972)
ABOUT
This project focuses upon the history of film exhibition, programming and cinema going experiences in Monterrey, Mexico, the third largest city in the country. Methodologically it is a replica of the Enlightened City project (Flanders, Belgium), applying a triangulation of methods around a cartography of cinemas in Monterrey (cf. database on venues, people and exhibition companies); an analysis of film programming (1922 to 1972, sample year per decade); and oral history on audience’s remembrance of film consumption habits in Monterrey (1930-1972).
FUNDING
The project has not received any external funding. Faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students of the communication programs at Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), México, have worked in the project on a voluntary basis.
