...during the 60's...
in the cultural colonization,
the cultural underdevelopment...
But, in fact,
Latin American intellectuals...
they keep...
obeying to the colonizing
bourgeoisie...
as their own action instrument.
They weren't able to be revolutionary
in face of the colonizing action...
and that was clear through
a colonizing language.
Not because they learned
to read French and English...
they learned the European
and American thinking...
that they applied this thinking
they were in contradiction,
paralyzed.
Because there wasn't a political
practice, because there wasn't...
a social and political revolution,
they couldn't envisin...
a new language
nor detach themselves...
from all this rationality
by the bourgeois culture.
...broadcast from America...
HAVANA - CUBA
from Havana, Cuba...
the first free territory
in America.
...of America...
Let's raise our heads...
because there is a lot
we must fight for...
a lot to do!
...free in America...
Latin American cinema...
reflects the Latin American
political situation.
The first two main Latin American
movements were:
Cuban cinema, which emerged
with the revolution...
which came after Cuban cinema...
in 1962, 1963.
Working under different
conditions...
because Cuba is a socialist country
and Brazil is a capitalist country...
in several aspects.
They had cultural independency...
from the imperialist system,
dealing...
directly with the social,
political and cultural problems...
in Latin America.
Also because...
they faced the same problems to gain
the market controlled by imperialism...
technical deficiency problems...
caused by technical
underdevelopment.
Both have problems,
but they are very organized.
A spontaneous organization,
because Latin American filmmakers...
are very united,
although with few differences...
aesthetical and ideological ones...
as to the situation of each country,
but they are united...
in the common ideal
to conquer...
Latin American market and free it
from the American occupation.
And this is related to the economical
liberation of the peoples...
and the substitution
of the imperialist language...
of the colonizer,
for a new language...
In the early 70's...
Cuba was diplomatically
isolated as a country.
But at the same time that
Cuba suffered...
these sanctions,
the country started to receive...
personalities from
A Brazilian filmmaker,
Glauber Rocha...
To Latin Americans
it means that...
except for Cinema Novo,
which is extinct...
because it's filmmakers
are either in Brazil...
or out of Brazil,
secretly trying...
to keep fighting both
politically and in films...
and wanting this victory.
will be in a few years,
a new phenomenon...
and a very important one,
politically speaking...
because it will be the first
cultural movement...
The first art movement
to unify culture and politics...
...in Latin America.
- Cinema?
Cinema.
As an artist,
he was a revolutionary...
CUBAN FILMMAKERS Because he
innovated the cinema language.
And he also was...
an essential revolutionary.
Glauber started his Cuban phase
just like one of us.
And his name was growing,
and Cuban cinema was surfacing.
"LATIN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
ICAIC"
And we, from the start...
set our destiny together
with that of Latin America.
That is, we set our destiny...
more with Latin American cinema
than with socialist cinema.
Cuba, that is, Cuban cinema...
was the foundation...
economically speaking.
Latin American filmmakers
didn't have any money or support.
So, what they did was
they brought the film...
and edited it here,
because we had a lab...
All the post-production was done here.
NATl0NAL AND INTERNATl0NAL NEWS
It was like...
brothers helping each other.
And some of our films...
seem to have been influenced
by Cinema Novo.
They had a similar attitude...
You're asking me why I make films?
As a matter of fact, I make films
because of imperialism.
If there was no imperialism,
I wouldn't make films.
We weren't fighting just
to conquer socialism...
we were fighting
to conquer a system...
that was more independent from
the interests of the United States...
was it capitalist or socialist...
but what we really
wanted to achieve...
was the true independency
of our continent.
Stories of the revolution...
from which we have an epopee
of a whole people...
in the final days of the fight
against the long nights of pain.
Since the start
we were conscious...
that we couldn't compete
with a cinema...
that had all the resources
in the worid.
And we didn't have that.
We just had a very rich reality.
I have no problem with your business,
but we're trying to work...
We hoped we had enough creativity
and essential elements...
to make films that
were interesting...
and that were
in a different level...
...of the American cinema.
- It's hard to get him out of there!
I don't want anything with you!
So get lost! Get lost!
Don't make me lose my temper!
...nor the buses parked
here on the street. Nothing.
