    I Am Cuba

    1964 Soviet-Cuban movie directed by Mikhail Kalatozov

    I Am Cuba is a 1964 film directed by Mikhail Kalatozov at Mosfilm. An international co-production between the Soviet Union and Cuba, it is an anthology film mixing political drama and propaganda. The film was almost completely forgotten until it was re-discovered by filmmakers in the United States thirty years later. The acrobatic tracking shots and idiosyncratic mise-en-scène prompted Hollywood directors like Martin Scorsese to begin a campaign to restore the film in the early 1990s. I Am Cuba is shot in black and white, sometimes using infrared film obtained from the Soviet military to exaggerate contrast. Most shots are in extreme wide-angle and the camera passes very close to its subjects, whilst still largely avoiding having those subjects ever look directly at the camera. Wikipedia
