45th International Film Forum
November 1 and 15 | 7:30 PM

A landmark of political cinema and one of the most visually stunning films in the history of Cuba, this legendary anthem to the revolution unfolds like a fever dream of rebellion. A product of the collaboration between the Cuban and Soviet film industries, *I Am Cuba*—directed by Mikhail Kalatozov—is structured as four explosive vignettes that capture life on the island on the brink of transformation, as crushing economic exploitation and inequality give way to an armed uprising. Later praised by filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, the film’s avant-garde formal approach and complex long takes offer an intimate portrayal of the struggle in 1959 Cuba.
