Science Fiction In Cinema And New Media In Colombia: A Late Development Of The Vision About The Future

Abstract

Science fiction is a genre that has managed to have a significant boom in the 20th century, however, its development in Latin America from the audiovisual field has been poor because its communities lived (and live) armed conflicts, extreme poverty and dictatorships, promoting its audiovisual artists to develop their films on these themes. In the 21st century, thanks to new technologies, their relationship with art and the implicit perception in their generations from the social, cultural, aesthetic and/or political sphere, proposals are glimpsed that have allowed science fiction to be given a different perspective. in Latin American audiovisuals through new media and transmedia.

This proposal is a tour of science fiction in Colombia in relation to Latin America to determine its importance in the audiovisual field (almost disappeared in the 20th century), and thus, to vindicate itself in the 21st century with significant content in the appearance of proposals for new media and transmedia in science fiction, because now the past and memory are not the only thing that matters, but also the future and everything that thinking about the future means, collecting projects of this style that are beginning to emerge and that have modified the perception of audiovisual and its classical structure.
