實物特徵:Introduction: Amidst the context of digital production, the variety of voices represented from non-written possibilities gain vitality, while they experiment with sound, visual, and corporal expression that communicate themselves through, traverse, and transgress cinematographic language. Within these considerations, a blind spot arises when these texts (documentaries) are discussed from the academy: the practices of distribution, curatorship and promotion of films are generally marginalized, taking away the prominence of the life cycle of these productions. How are these challenges experienced in contemporary productions in Central America and the Caribbean? Objective: This paper analyzes some narrative and aesthetic resources in documentaries that represent Afrolatin characters. Methods: The study summarizes and selects texts made from Martinique, Grenada, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, making visible old and new resources that allude to references from local and global perspectives. Results: It builds a context that contributes to the focus on characters, conflicts, and historical scenarios of the Afro-descendant community in Central America and the Caribbean. Conclusions: The documentaries reflect on trajectories and historical conditions that problematize identities and struggles while bringing dignity to the represented subjects and communities. Their curatorship strengthens the link between audiences and texts to expand the dialogue around them.
