	Cinema of Cuba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although cinema arrived at Cuba at the beginning of the 20th century and the island arrived early to the television phenomena and cinematographic production, before the triumph of the Cuban Revolution around 80 full-length films were produced, most of them were melodramas which did not say much about the reality of the country.
		Cuba, just as the rest of the countries in the continent, went through those first years with itinerant and sporadic exhibitions, changing from European providers to North American providers, starting the dependency on the big Hollywood companies.
		Essential in the history of Cuban cinema is the Noticiero ICAIC Latinoamericano (Latin-american ICAIC News) whose first director was Alfredo Guevara, current president of the ICAIC.

		Jaskari: Tomas Gutierrez Alea and the Post-Revolutionary Cuba
		In Cuba too, Free Cinema was regarded an important idea worthy of discussion and debate, and in an article in Cine Cubano at the end of 1960, Gutiérrez Alea brought forth his reservations against the new documentary style.
		Unlike the Free Cinema film-makers, who emphasized the importance of the fulfillment of an individual director's personal artistic aspirations, he held a film-maker's sensitivity to the audience to be more important than the achievement of technical mastery, since without this sensitivity, no amount of technical mastery alone was meaningful.

	The Havana Connection
		Besides the festival, Cuba itself is a marvelous attraction; not only for its natural beauty and breathtaking architecture, but for its people and their lifestyle which is based on values that are very different from ours.
		Cinema in Cuba is still a strong force, as it was in Brazil in the Sixties, when ticket prices were lower, theaters were bigger, and competition with television and the VCR wasn't a part of the scene.
		Cinema is a major attraction for Cubans who flock to the festival screenings, creating long lines and packing all of the sessions.

		Cuba may be one of the world’s few surviving Communist states, but it has precious few of the cast-iron ideological trappings and symbols associated with the former Soviet bloc.
		Cinema is seen as a crucial element in the formation of culture, and both Martí and Castro stressed, in their different ways, that without culture there can be no freedom.
		Guevara won the debate, and thus a Cuban cinema was born in which the merits and failings of the political-economic system could to some extent be shown.

		In the student segment, there is a short-lived moment of ambiguity when the student, about to shoot a secret policeman from a sniper's perch, holds back his hand because his target was at his breakfast table.
		After many twists and turns, the camera follows the procession (without a helicopter, mind you) down the street from 100 feet high, as if the student's spirit was watching the procession as he hovered in the air.

		That doesn't mean that in Cuba there are no films which have been censored, that it has not been difficult for some creator to put a project into practice -- impossible at times,'' he said.
		Cuba's most recent high-profile film, ``La Vida es Silbar'' (''Life is Whistling''), took the main prize at the prestigious annual Havana Film Festival in December 1998 but had a mixed reception abroad.

		This was, after all, Castro's revolutionary Cuba, an experiment in socialism that desperately needed finishing funds to surmount a growing economic crisis -- a crisis brought on by the combined effects of the loss of East Bloc patronage, a long-standing U.S. embargo, and the inability of Cuba's creaky economic system to adapt and prosper.
		Prior to 1959 Cuba was an important market for foreign films (seven million Cubans produced a weekly average of one and a half million moviegoers), but it lacked a homegrown film industry.
		It is about the young in Cuba not getting the chance to do what their father, William Tell (i.e., Fidel Castro), did when he demonstrated his prowess by shooting the apple with his bow and arrow.

		This is certainly the case with the subject of Cuba, where the vast majority of information is sullied by a murky combination of prejudicial conceptions, biased editorial policies, U.S. domination of international news agencies and downright ignorance on the part of journalists.
		Cuba’s many achievements and successes are cloaked in a mysterious silence.
		We generally don’t hear how many gold medals they have won or how many records they have broken, but there is always space to report that some Cuban athlete has succumbed to the temptation of the million dollar cheques that are practically thrust in their faces during international sporting events.

		A visually impressive \\\'film poem\\\' about Cuba and the extremes between the decadence of the élites and the political and economic poverty of the majority of Cubans during the last years of the Battista regime.
		Kalatozov uses starkly beautiful imagery to contrast the corruption of the powerful against the purity of the impoverished poor peasants, the idealistic university students and the freedom fighters, oppressed in and by their collective hatred of the system.
		I Am Cuba, was highly praised in the American critical press when it was released, but the film\\\'s emotional and political message is obvious.

		Tutti noi che ci occupiamo di cinema qui a Cuba, autori, realizzatori e saggisti, ci siamo formati specialmente negli anni ’50, ’60 e ’70 con molto cinema che veniva dall’Italia al quale il nuovo cinema cubano, quello del dopo Rivoluzione, si è ampiamente ispirato.

	Calculated Cinema (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The concept of the calculated image has been used on occasion as a reference to the series of techniques in digital image generation, animation and processing, and in particular those "constructed" by means of arithmetical calculations and computer tools (starting from scratch, so to speak, or the combination of zeros and ones).
		And, in short, this anti-standardised, searching spirit explodes in the idea of expanded cinema, to take an expression employed by several film-makers and theoreticians, and used in the title of a book by Gene Youngblood, Expanded Cinema (1970), one of the first to discuss the new technologies, audio-visual practises and multimedia.
		The programming also includes the latest contributions to experimental animation and absolute cinema by Cuba and other film-makers like Paul Glabicki, Robert Darroll or Bart Vegter, who, in recent years, have also incorporated the computer into their working methods.

		What follows is a series of darkly comic adventures that nearly drive the nephew mad, and culminate in a hilarious scene in which the desperate nephew, in one of his futile attempts to secure the pension, strangles the main bureaucrat at the cemetery.
		The story takes place during a transitory period in Cuba, between the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, events to which the film makes direct reference by using fragments of newsreels, recording of speeches, filming with hidden camera (8).
		The official ideology in Cuba in the 1970s focused on the importance of ideological unity amongst Cuban people, which ruled out any precedent of “false intellectuals” who promote snobbism, extravagance, homosexuality or any other form of social aberration (12).
