Speakers): Tom Winterbottom

Please join the DLCL for a screening of Mikhail Kalatozov's "Soy Cuba" (1964)! This film is a part of the DLCL Film Series: Images of America - German Cinema and Beyond. Join us every Wednesday from April 3rd to June 5th for a new film.

Celebrated for his film The cranes are flying (1958), Mikhail Kalatozov’s masterpiece Soy Cuba (1964) remained practically unknown until it was rediscovered in the early 1990s. Using stunning cinematography the film depicts the Cuban revolution from the perspectives of the Cuban people in a way that made neither the revolutionary Cuban nor the Soviet leadership happy.
