Abstract
Abstract This article provides a brief aesthetic history of Central American cinema, outlining the impact of limited resources, sociopolitical conflicts and global aesthetic trends on regional film production. Focusing on films produced in the late 1990s and the early 2000s, it analyses how contemporary Central American films have overcome economic and material limitations and generated films that obtained acclaim in regional and international circuits. It also analyses the impact of international film festivals on Central American film production, focusing on the work of the Central American, yet also transnational, directors Julio Hernández Cordón and Tatiana Huezo.
