En un barrio viejo (1963)

Directed by Nicolás Guillén Landrián
Cuba
1963
6 mins

Affectionate, experimental short documentary that paints a mosaic of Cuba by focusing on a microcosmic “old neighborhood”, where the country’s personality slowly emerges through its various dualities: young and old, day and night, sound and silence, Christianity and Santería, civilian life and military presence, poverty and abundance.

This screening is a part of the Spotlight on Cuba at Miami Film Festival, made possible with support of ArtesMiami.
