Nicolás Guillén Landrián

'Coffea arábiga' was sponsored as a propaganda documentary to show how to sow coffee around Havana. In fact, Guillén Landrián made a film critical of Castro, exhibited but banned as soon as the coffee plan collapsed.

In this short Guillén Landrían weaves together the national revolutionary project with the lunar landing by Apollo 11, Tomás Gutierrez Aléa's iconic Memories of Underdevelopment (1968), advertisements, and the Beatles.

This short film -one of the last made by the Afro-Cuban filmmaker before his definitive expulsion from ICAIC in 1972- alternates shots of the assembly of a vehicle designed for workers' transportation with the exploration of the conditions of workers' representation and political participation in an assembly held in the workshop. The radical disjunction between image and sound interrupts the logic (and etymology) in which the agglutinating force of the "assembly" and the operation of the "assembly" of the parts converge in the dissonant structure of this documentary.

Using a questionnaire, the author interviews writers, artists, and prominent figures in Colombian culture. Through his interviews, Arango portrays these personalities, using suggestive questions and the unconscious revelation that comes with the improvised nature of the answers. Likewise, some figures, Nadaístas and other artists, present their life stories in the first person, discussing their art, life motivations, and cultural issues. Finally, two chronicles are presented: one addressed to a relative of Arango's in Chocó, and another in which the author reflects on Cartagena and its historic center based on a trip he made to the city in 1966.

Affectionate, experimental short documentary that paints a mosaic of Cuba by focusing on a microcosmic "old neighborhood", where the country's personality slowly emerges through its various dualities: young and old, day and night, sound and silence, Christianity and Santería, civilian life and military presence, poverty and abundance.
