This article's objetive is to discuss the image of the"black" in the Argentine, Brazilian, and Cuban cinema. From a European viewpoint, Latin American cinema is generally regarded as something distant, despite their cultural and historical ties. This gap is widened when the movies are directed and starred by"negros", or when such movies depict the"negro" culture. The cinema must convey reality and its development depends on the study and representation of the latter. Therefore, our attention is focused toward the negro and his cinematographical contribution and appreciation.
