Abstract

The arrival of cinema in Latin America and Chile in particular, can compose a map of early cinema in this side of the world. This article aims to advance the configuration of a picture of when they met film technologies available in the late nineteenth century, how they were named and appropriate from intertextual intersections with the press of the time. We collect records of the first projections and their history, characterizing the first images imported from Europe and the U.S. not only imposing an industrialized system but a way of building the image, which became the model for the local cinema.
