Documentary

With this vibrant debut—an ardent love letter to Santiago’s people and its colorful culture—Sara Gómez became Cuba’s first woman filmmaker. From siestas to fiestas, carnivals to funerals, this short salsa-danced its way into film history. A pulsating documentary of Afro-Cuban myth, magic, and music.
