A FILMMAKER WALKS INTO A REVOLUTION…
CUBAN FILM & THE REVOLUTION
CASA DEL TUNEL, 2009

Curatorial statement:

In turn a time of turmoil, trauma, joy and great upheaval for the country’s inhabitants, it can however be affirmed that the revolution had one brilliant effect: Ushering in what is known as the golden era of Cuban cinema. The effects of great change on art cannot be understated, and in Cuba – no exception to that rule – it provided a rich and complex subject to observe, interpret and chronicle. This film program aims to elucidate the opinions and conclusions drawn around this cataclysmic event through the unique cinematic eye of some of the country’s greatest storytellers: Its filmmakers.
