Chicano/a Film and Television Collection

The UCLA Film & Television Archive holds a wide selection of motion picture and television titles made by and about Chicano/a communities. These films and programs span from the 1930s to contemporary television dramas and provide a unique opportunity to survey a history of representations related to Mexican American communities both within the commercial mainstream media, and through the diverse range of productions produced by Chicanos/as.
