A screenwriter (also called scriptwriter, scribe, or scenarist) is a person who practices the craft of writing for visual mass media, known as screenwriting. These can include short films, feature-length films, television programs, television commercials, video games, and the growing area of online web series. Terminology In the silent era, screenwriters were denoted by terms such as photoplaywright, photoplay writer, photoplay dramatist, and screen playwright.Maras, Steven. ''Screenwriting: History, Theory and Practice'', Wallflower Press, 2009, pp. 82–85.

Jaguar (1986 Film)
''Jaguar'' () is a 1986 Soviet drama film directed by Sebastián Alarcón. Free film adaptation of Mario Vargas Llosa's novel ''The Time of the Hero''. The hero is a cadet of a military school where future defenders of the Pinochet regime are trained. Having survived the collapse of the philosophy of cruelty, Jaguar (as the cadets called him for his firm and independent character) joins the ranks of fighters against the existing regime. Plot Set in Chile during the early 1980s under Augusto Pinochet’s rule, the film follows three cadets in a military academy, each occupying a distinct social rank within the informal hierarchy among students. Pablo, nicknamed “Jaguar,” hails from humble origins and joins the army to climb the social ladder; he’s a strong leader who was the only cadet not subjected to the academy’s humiliating initiation rituals. Alberto Fernandez, known as “Poet,” holds a middling position, while Ricardo Orana, dubbed “Slave,” is the group’s out ...
