Summary Soy Cuba (1964)

Four vignettes about the lives of the Cuban people set during the pre-revolutionary era.

This study of Cuba--partially written by renowned poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko--captures the island just before it made the transition to a post-revolutionary society. Moving from city to country and back again, I AM CUBA examines the various problems caused by political oppression as well as by great discrepancies in wealth and power. Beginning in Havana in the pre-Castro era, we see how foreigners contributed to the city's prostitution and poverty; this sequence features dreamy, hallucinogenic camera work that creates a feeling of unease and dislocation. Then, in glorious images of palm tress and fertile land, the film looks at the sugar cane fields in the countryside, and the difficulties faced by peasants working the land. Finally, back in the city again, leftist students battle the police and a corrupt government--and pay a high price for their rebellion.

Four vignettes in Batista's Cuba dramatize the need for revolution; long, mobile shots tell almost wordless stories. In Havana, Maria faces shame when a man who fancies her discovers how she earns her living. Pedro, an aging peasant, is summarily told that the land he farms has been sold to United Fruit. A university student faces down a crowd of swaggering U.S. sailors and then watches friends shot by police when they try to distribute a pro-Castro leaflet. The war arrives on the doorstep of peasants Mariano, Amelia, and their four children when Batista's forces bomb the hills. Mariano wants peace, so he seeks out the guerrillas to join the fight.

Summary This Is Not the Film's Title; the True Title Is in the Closing Credits (2012)

Based upon ideas jointly developed by an Agnostic man, a Catholic woman and a Muslim man, this experimental film explores religious, cultural and generational dualism of a postwar society: Christianity vs. Islam, traditional vs. modern, rural vs. urban, domestic vs. foreign, spiritual vs. secular, eternal vs. transient, etc. While the author's intention is to promote tolerance, (mis)interpretation of this film greatly depends on each viewer's personal opinions, beliefs and prejudices.
