The Duke-UNC Program in Latin American Studies owns a video Collection of more than 300 feature films and documentaries, most of which were produced in Latin America. The collection includes classics of Latin American cinema as well as many recent titles, representing almost all of the countries of the region.
Most videos are in the original language with English subtitles.
The Program continues to acquire new titles for the video collection with funds provided by the Mellon foundation and the U.S. Department of Education. The videos are purchased for use in the Programs annual, and also to provide educational tools for students, teachers and other professionals. We encourage professors, graduate students, public school instructors, and community educators to make use of these valuable resources in the classroom. The video collection is housed in the Program's office on the UNC campus. All videos are lent free of charge, and may be signed out from and returned to the UNC office.
