of the role of journalism and a description of a period of Bolivian history. In Knudson's words: "The historical method has been used in the belief that history is concerned - or should be concerned - not only with what actually happened in any given time and place, but also with what people thought was happening, as revealed to them through the means of public information" - in this case, the newspaper. The study is heavily documented." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 917)

dar un panorama completo de lo que ha sido esta etapa, sin duda la más rica de la cinematografía nacional. Para lograrlo ha partido de la premisa de que tres realizadores, Ruiz, Sanjinés y Eguino y un guionista, Soria, son los ejes sobre los que se ha movido nuestro cine en esos treinta y tres años. Son ellos además quienes desde Bolivia han hecho los mayores aportes al cine latinoamericano y universal. Pero la obra no se limita a estas figuras, dedica importantes capítulos a quienes hicieron y hacen aportes sustanciales al cine que hoy tenemos y a quienes han trabajado para hacer más sólida nuestra cultura cinematográfica y han permitido algo esencial, la conservación del patrimonio fílmico nacional para las generaciones del futuro. El tercer nivel, indispensable como referencia y de gran utilidad para cualquier investigador, crítico o simplemente cinéfilo, está dedicado a una filmografía exhaustiva del periodo 1952-1985, una bio-filmografía de 33 realizadores bolivianos, el detalle completo de los premios internacionales y nacionales obtenidos por este cine y una cronología año por año desde 1952 de los hechos históricos, el cine y las otras artes desarrolladas en el país en estas tres décadas."
