Cinematography: “I am Cuba”

“I am Cuba” was a film done as Cuban social propaganda in the sixties, which I won’t pretend to know anything about, politics that is…or the sixties. It was funded and shot by the Russians, and it is an absolute must see if you’re into beautiful and trippy film experiences. Incredibly long takes, wide angles, huge huge pans and cable cam shots, all black and white, a camera that NEVER stops moving. I’ll just say, that half way through I was exhausted b/c I had numerous ideas tumbling around in my head inspired by the film. For more specific details on the movie read here.

My personal suggestion is put the film on, turn the volume off on the tv, turn on some Air, and just let it go.
