Composition
Iré a Santiago

Iré a Santiago

A celebratory ode to life in the port city of Santiago de Cuba. The population of mulattos and Afro Cubans offers a vibrant blend of cultural influences.

Y... tenemos sabor

Y... tenemos sabor

An affectionate celebration of Cuban music in all its rich variations, with rumba singer and songwriter Alberto Zayas explaining the origin of the traditional range of instruments—and of course plenty of irresistible music too.

De bateyes

De bateyes

Short documentary in which filmmaker Sara Gómez explores the history of Cuban bateyes, simple workers’ settlements near sugarcane mills. The testimonies of the workers form the thread running through this nearly forgotten film.

Guanabacoa: Crónicas de mi familia

Guanabacoa: Crónicas de mi familia

Join Sara Gómez on a trip to Guanabacoa, a town near Havana where her father’s family come from. Her short impressions form an evocative portrait of Black middle-class life in pre- and post-revolutionary Cuba.

Spotlight on Cuba
Spotlight on Cuba revisits the complex political history of Cuba. With a retrospective of the pioneering Afro-Cuban filmmaker Sara Gómez, next to a special curation of films made by students of the EICTV, the program will explore the paradoxes of our perception of Cuba as both revolutionary utopia and dystopia.
