Abstract

The cultural fi eld formed around cinema has been built in several dimensions: fi lm production, markets, public policies, audiences, cultural and historical contexts and fi lm studies and its theory. This one has had in Chile a fragmented, uneven and not suffi ciently established nor legitimated development. This paper aims to provide an overview of fi lm studies in Chile, focusing on three important areas (institutions, theories and problems and, by last, criticism) to state, from this partial «review», a set of questions regarding the need to consolidate these studies, their future and their ability to dialogue with other areas of Cinema.
