A look at the life and work of Cuban filmmaker Tomas Gutierrez Alea.
Contemporary film critics regard the epic film I Am Cuba as a modern masterpiece. The 1964 Cuban/Soviet coproduction marked a watershed moment of cultural collaboration between two nations. Yet the film never found a mass audience, languishing for decades until its reintroduction as a "classic" in the 1990s. Vicente Ferraz explores the strange history of this cinematic tour de force, and the deeper meaning for those who participated in its creation.
Documentary about the relationship between filmmaker Glauber Rocha and Cuba.

젊은 시절 부푼 꿈을 안고 고향인 관타나모와 사랑하는 연인 칸디도를 두고 떠난 가수 요지타(콘치타 브란도)가 50년 만에 귀향한다. 고향을 떠난 사이 요지타는 유명 가수가 되어 인기를 누렸지만, 연인인 칸디도(라울 에구렌)는 색소폰을 부는 악사로 고향에만 묶여 지낸다.
조카인 조르지나(미타 이바라)의 집에 머물던 요지타는 칸디도와 재회의 기쁨을 누리며 옛날을 회상하다가 숨을 거두고 만다. 한편 고향을 떠난 사람들의 장례식 문제로 각 지역 임원들과 회의를 하던 조르지나의 남편 아돌포(카를로스 크루즈)는 각 지역에서 시신을 운반하는 차량을 교대하는 방법을 사용하자고 제안한다. 때마침 요지타가 사망하자 요지타의 시신을 관타나모에서 바야모로, 바야모에서 라스 투나스로 운반하기로 한다. 평생 요지타를 사랑한 칸디도도 이 시신 운송 여행에 동참한다. 그러나 사랑하는 여인을 두 번이나 떠나보내고 슬픔과 애도에 잠긴 칸디도와는 달리, 긴 여정 속에서 아돌포는 자신의 신용을 회복하려는 광적인 욕심을 내비치고, 운전기사인 토니는 밀수 물품 운반을 도모한다. 아돌포는 원래의 계획보다 더 경제적이고 신속하게 시신을 운반하고자 하지만, 자동차가 고장 나고, 임산부를 병원까지 데려다 주는 등 갖가지 문제들이 발생한다. 한편 조르지나는 대학에서 학생들을 가르치던 시절, 자신에게 사랑의 편지를 전했던 마리아노와 몇 번씩 마주치게 되고 결국 그와 사랑에 빠진다. 여행을 하면서 많은 생각을 하게 된 칸디도는 조르지아에게 스스로의 인생을 스스로 결정하라는 조언을 하고, 조르지아는 이제까지 순종만 하던 남편에게 자신의 의견을 주장하기 시작한다.

Havana, Cuba, 1979. Flamboyantly gay artist Diego (Jorge Perugorría) attempts to seduce the straight and strait-laced David, an idealistic young communist, and fails dismally. But David conspires to become friends with Diego so he can monitor the artist's subversive life for the state. As Diego and David discuss politics, individuality and personal expression in Castro's Cuba, a genuine friendship develops between the two. But can it last? Strawberry and Chocolate became an instant hit when it was released, and has become a classic of Cuban cinema due to its charming and authentic exploration of a connection between two people under historical circumstances that seem levelled against them.

Later that day, when looking into the glass, Susana is startled to see the image of a handsome soldier, Nicolas (from 1863), instead of her own reflection. It soon becomes obvious that he can see Susana as clearly as she can see him - and life, for them both, is never quite the same again.

Based on the novel Francisco by Anselmo Suárez y Romero, "The Other Francisco" is a socio-economic analysis of slavery and class struggle through the retelling of the original novel. The film contrasts the romantic conceptions of plantation life found in Suárez Romero's novel with a realistic expose of the actual historical conditions of slavery throughout the Americas. It offers a critical analysis of the novel, showing how the author's social background led to his use of particular dramatic structures to convey his liberal, humanitarian viewpoint.

In Asamblea general (1960), the documentary about Fidel's address of the First Declaration of Havana in the Plaza of the Revolution, Alea practises what becomes a sustaining Cuban contribution to documentary. Engaging with Free Cinema and cinema-vérité, his camera seems to touch the faces of the new citizen one by one rather than as a single mass before a leader.
