In the early sixties, the Cuban cinema gained an international reputation with brilliant documentaries that were no stranger to controversy. The documentary spirit evolved into a unique film language in the approximately 100 feature films made since the Revolution, but at ICAIC (the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematograficos), the "short subject"-documentary, animation and experimental cinema-still holds its own; it is the creative lynchpin of the national industry. As the Revolution celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, the Cuban film industry also has much to celebrate. We do so tonight with a survey of animated, experimental and documentary films; filled with the irony, energy and commitment that characterizes the Cuban cinema, they are made by leading film artists, many of whom have since garnered international renown as feature-filmmakers.
