Hijos de la revolución
Herself
O documentário de Luciana Sérvulo da Cunha aborda as recentes mudanças migratórias em direção a uma abertura política promovidas por Raúl Castro – simbolizadas pela visita do ex-presidente norte-americano Barack Obama –, a partir de depoimentos de pais e filhos que viveram realidades distintas na ilha. O longa-metragem escolhe o viés cultural para permear discussões profundas, como a proteção da arte cubana, a dificuldade dos mais jovens em serem acolhidos pelo mercado, a possibilidade de conhecer novos países e a diferença de visão de jovens que não possuem nenhum tipo de elo com uma revolução da qual só ouviram falar.
City in Red
Director
A 2009 Cuban drama by Rebeca Chávez taking place in Santiago de Cuba at the beginning of revolution. In the late 1950s, the city of Santiago de Cuba was afire, the site of some of the fiercest resistance to the murderous dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. The film's narrative unfolds over 24 hours in the lives of several youthful members of the underground as they confront their own uncertainty about the morality of armed struggle and the necessity of severing bonds that had seemed unbreakable.
