Contribution to a history of film and radio criticism in Colombia: journal micro, 1940-1949

Abstract

The article focuses on the journal Micro, which was edited by Camilo Correa. By means of a critical review, the article describes and interprets the critical practice done in the journal. The latter aimed at contributing to the professionalization of film and radio, which included both its consolidation as a profitable industry and the establishment of its artistic and technical relevance. Such a professionalization also required a well-prepared audience, in which formation the work of the journals became crucial. Therefore, criticism for Correa meant both the review of the contents and thoughts on the conditions that made the former possible.
