Synopsis
NY PREMIERE
Starting from the life of the filmmaker Julio García Espinosa, the documentary is a reflection on the emergence and development of Cuban contemporary cinematography, its struggles, contradictions and confrontations with dogmatic thinking that at times seems to dominate the Cuban political-cultural spectrum, the always difficult, risky and necessary relationship between officials and artists, and the close and united defense of filmmakers around their film policy.
