She is the author of the book Ciudad y FantasmagorÃa: El cine urbano de Latinoamérica en el siglo XXI (City and Phantasmagoria: Urban Latin American Cinema in the Twenty-first Century) (Editorial Cuarto Propio, Chile, 2019) and the director of the feature film Oklahoma Mon Amour(Release Spring 2021). Future research includes film theory re-contextualization and topics of gaze, expressivity, and subjectivity in Latin American Cinema.
Carolina previously worked professionally in the fields of film and video. She co-founded directed and edited weekly segments for LatinEyes, a television program that focused on Latin American culture in such a way as to break down the stereotyped images of Hispanic people living in the United States. LatinEyes received an Emmy Award for Best Cultural TV Show in 2006 (San Francisco, California). In 2005, she co-produced the Colombian feature film Visitas, which premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival and was exhibited at several other venues, including the Internationales filmfestival Freiburg (Switzerland), the Chicago Latino Film Festival, the Festival de Cine de Granada (Spain), and the Festival internacional de cine de Cartagena (Colombia), among others.
Carolina has taught history, theory and production. Her teaching focus is Latin American Cinema and a production course of film and media editing that combines theory and practice.
