Contemporary Cuban Cinema: New Spaces, New Histories

Seminar series of the British Academy Link Programme UK-Latin America and the Caribbean: A joint project between the University of Havana and Aberystwyth University (Dr. Guy Baron).

The project is aimed at achieving a greater understanding of the link between Cuban film and society post-1990. Many studies have been conducted that develop the understanding of Cuban film and society before 1990. These studies develop the link between the development of a revolutionary consciousness across Cuban arts and the attempt to deliver expressions of that consciousness through the medium of film.

This short film is just one small result of the British Academy funded programme and the work of the delegation headed by Guy Baron and including Michael Chanan, Ann Marie Stock and Rob Stone.
