Клуб Буена Виста
Camera Operator
Кинорежиссер Вим Вендерс, один из самых больших поклонников группы «Buena Vista», был другом Кудеры и сотрудничал с ним более 20 лет. Он попросил сопровождать Кудеру в его поездке на Кубу. Два года спустя они отправились на Кубу, чтобы начать работу над фильмом. Работая с музыкантами, олицетворявшими столетие кубинской музыки, Вендерс показывает их жизнь, их страну, и их песни. Музыканты рассказывают о своем прошлом, шутят в студии и поют на улицах. Вендерсу удалось показать открытость и теплоту этих замечательных талантов, многие из которых сейчас находятся в преклонном возрасте.
Nearer the Sea
Director
A modest and loving portrait of a small enclave of old-fashioned beach huts by the North Sea. The sound track is fragments of conversations with the inhabitants, who themselves are not seen on screen; the protagonists on screen are the huts, the beach and the sea. And, only a stone’s throw away, the heavy industry of the Hoogovens furnaces.
