Argentine film histories tend to present the classical period as a moment where film production was centered exclusively in Buenos Aires, and any alternative experience is viewed as a minor curiosity which requires not much interest. Taking this into consideration, Film Andes, a production company based in Mendoza province which produced sixteen movies between 1944 and 1956 that ranged from adaptations of classical literature to local stories with social themes, entails a peculiar case that puts a strain on the frameworks used to study regional cinemas. This article analyzes the anomalies this company introduces into Argentine film history by studying its commercial and business strategies, its narrative and representational models, and its similarities to other contemporaneous experiences.

Palabras clave : Film Andes; Argentine Classical Cinema; Regional Cinema; Film Industry.
