Like its far-flung children, the Caribbean island state drifts through time between noble social utopia and ideological bankruptcy. Both among the Cuban diaspora and at home, the progress of this paradoxical island are as consistently documented, commentated and scrutinised as its lack of dynamism is lambasted.
What constitutes Cubanía – that inimitable, complex Cuban identity? That’s the question the three films from an emerging generation of non-fiction filmmakers that LAFITA has put together in collaboration with director José Luis Aparicio try to answer – a Cuban kaleidoscope that traces social change and the more inconspicuous mutations of the country’s cultural DNA.
