- Title
Películas en lenguas indígenas producidas en países hispanohablantes: Ixcanul y El abrazo de la serpiente.

- Abstract
What traits does a film need to possess in order to be considered as belonging to the Hispanophone world? Ixcanul (Jayro Bustamente, 2015) and El abrazo de la serpiente (Embrace of the Serpent, Ciro Guerra, 2015) are examples of films that have been treated as belonging to contemporary Latin American national cinemas, despite the fact that they were primarily conceived and produced in Indigenous languages. This article takes up the concepts of exoticization and Third Cinema (Ella Shohat and Robert Stam), subalternity (Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak), heterogenous globalization (Roland Robertson), and ethnicity (Michèle Lagny) to explore the sociopolitical and aesthetic characteristics that these two films have in common, in order to determine whether their Hispanicity is, or is not, justified.
