SUMMARY:

This thesis examines films made by four Latin American women filmmakers living in the United Kingdom, taking displacement as a central analytical axis in response to the existing gap in studies on Latin American female authorship in diasporic contexts. The research aims to analyze how these filmmakers’ migratory trajectories are articulated in their works, contributing to the construction of self-narratives and to the questioning of images produced by hegemonic cinema. The study adopts a qualitative approach, based on in-depth interviews and film analysis, and engages with feminist and decolonial theoretical frameworks. The findings indicate a recurrence of themes related to displacement, memory, belonging, and identity, as well as the presence of narrative and aesthetic strategies linked to the filmmakers’ migratory experiences. The thesis concludes that these productions expand the understanding of contemporary Latin American cinema made outside its territories of origin and contribute to debates on female authorship and cinematic practices in diasporic contexts.
