MOLINA ERGUETA, Mary Carmen. The most beautiful and its very best years. Bolivian Cinema in the last 50 years (1964-2014). Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.32, pp.153-182. ISSN 2077-3323.

With the assembling of a state of the question of Bolivian cinema in the past 50 years, this paper aims to articulate a reading that addresses the analysis of tradition through the comparison of particular pieces. Beginning with the tracing of a map and its landmarks, set from the history and film criticism during the last five decades in Bolivia, the text articulate the encounter of films that open new significance directions in the construction and discussion of cultural tensions and identity in the country, primary axis of Bolivian cinema. The paper presents a comparative analysis of films that challenge one another regarding topics and aesthetics, films political, cultural or temporarily distanced, in order to read into the transcendence, transformation, displacement and reconfiguration of tradition and its cultural, social and political senses.The point is to uplift the look on Bolivian cinema and tradition with the introduction of new ways of addressing to the pressing concerns.
