Film Description

Soy Cuba is an extraordinary hymn to to the Castro revolution from Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov, whose epic feature uses amazing camera techniques to beautiful, lyrical effect. The film takes in the decadence of Batista Havana as well as the grinding poverty and oppression of the Cuban people, and the sweeping and even acrobatic camerawork is impressive. An inexplicably neglected film for decades, this masterpiece is at last receiving the recognition it deserves.

The Siberian Mammoth (Vicente Farraz, 2005) is a documentary that unearths the truth behind why Soy Cuba was rejected by Cubans and Soviets alike upon its release and shelved for more than 30 years. Through a combination of breathtaking footage from the Cuban revolution, interviews with surviving Soviet and Cuban cast and crew members, this documentary provides us with insights into the ideology of the Cold War, the recent history of Cuba, and the the complete story behind the amazing film.
