Title: “I Am Cuba”
Duration: 141 min
Year: 1964

Synopsis:
Four different stories. Sweat, smoke, music, and revolution.

A political and visual experiment created through Soviet-Cuban collaboration, portraying the social reality of pre-revolutionary Cuba in a poetic form. The film serves simultaneously as anti-imperialist propaganda and a radical exploration of cinematic form.

Through four independent stories, “I Am Cuba” depicts social reality shaped by poverty, class inequality, and political oppression, all fueling revolutionary sentiment. By combining documentary realism with expressive visual style, Kalatozishvili creates an entirely new cinematic language.
