Daniel Gómez Steinhart, Cinema Studies, talks about his project

Daniel Gómez Steinhart, Cinema Studies, and 2020-21 OHC Faculty Research Fellow This book examines the history of Hollywood productions in Mexico from the mid-1940s until the early 1970s. Drawing on archival materials, it sheds light on how Hollywood formed a close relationship with the Mexican film industry through a mix of investment, production, and talent exchange. Ultimately, this project historicizes current debates about production outsourcing, trade, and immigration between the United States and Mexico while revealing the complicated cross-cultural exchanges that have long connected these two countries.
