La huella de lo audiovisual en la cultura ecuatoriana is, in first instance, a historical survey of Ecuadorian feature films from the 1920s to the present day. It traces, in chronological order, all the productions that were either shot in Ecuador or that involved Ecuadorian producers or directors filming Ecuadorian related themes in foreign soil The dissertation begins with the first silent feature film El tesoro de Atahualpa (Augusto San Miguel, 1924) and ends with Fuera de juego (Victor Arregui, 2002), which won the best film in the Cine en Construccion category at the San Sebastian Film Festival in 2002 In second instance, the dissertation also analysis the cultural production of those eighty years in Ecuador and attempts to discover similarities or discrepancies with the other 'art forms' of the period. It establishes the difference between 'high art' and 'low art' and how film has come to be understood in those terms. It attempts to insert Ecuadorian film within the larger context of Latin America and to search for connections, during the early film period (1920--1950), with the itinerant directors who criss-crossed the Continent at the time: Saa Silva, Diumenjo and Santana. It later attempts to rethink the paradigms of the sixties and seventies in Latin America concerning New Latin American Cinema and finally looks at how the new technology of Digital Video has created a new way of looking at film in the Continent / acase@tulane.edu
