Always great to hear Luis Argueta discussing Guatemalan cinema. As he says in the interview here it is so important for a country to see itself on the big screen; "Film is the fundamental importance in the construction of national identity".

Luis Argueta, Professor/Filmmaker, City College/CUNY, is interviewed by Patricio Lerzundi, Chair of the Journalism, Communication, and Theatre Department (JCT) at Lehman College.

The City University of New York, CUNY TV operates as a non-commercial station. Its mission is to extend the academic and intellectual richness of the University beyond the campuses and to offer New York City residents a haven for life long learning experiences through television.
