Sinopsis
Transformaciones sufridas en Baracoa a partir del triunfo de la Revolución. Retornar a Baracoa posee los primeros insertos de foto fija de su cine, así como fotoanimación e intertítulos, recursos que en lo adelante usaría profusamente. Estos últimos, como forma de disfrazar al narrador pero también de dialogar con las imágenes desde ángulos diversos, convirtiéndose a menudo en herramienta de provocación y en voz omnisciente del autor.
NICOLÁS GUILLÉN LANDRIÁN
Nicolás Guillén Landrián (1938 in Camaguey, Cuba -- July 23, 2003 in Miami, Florida) was a Cuban experimental filmmaker and painter. Guillén was an accomplished filmmaker. He made a total of 13 documentaries, although they were heavily censored and prevented from being part of the Cuban Film Industry. In 1964, he was given a special award at the Cracow Film Festival for his film En un barrio viejo. In 1968, his documentary Coffea Arabiga featured the Beatles' song Fool on the Hill as Fidel Castro appeared on screen. That same year, Guillén was accused of plotting to assassinate Castro. The Cuban government interrogated him for six months in Villa Marista. From 1970 to 1989, he was repeatedly jailed and institutionalized. He received at least eight treatments of electroconvulsive therapy, never under sedation. As painter he taught Rene Portocarrero and Victor Miquel Moreno Piñeiro in painting. In 1989, he was able to flee Cuba and lived the rest of his life in Miami, Florida. He died of cancer at Mercy Hospital in Miami. After his death, his widow had his body flown from Miami and entombed in Colon Cemetery, Havana in Cuba. His uncle was Afro-Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén. Filmmakers: Victor R. Jiménez Sosa, and Jorge Egusquiza produced a biographical documentary of Nicolás Guillén Landrián in his own words, "Nicolás: the end but not the end", by Coincident Productions (2005) and Filmmaker Manuel Zayas directed Coffee with Milk (2003).
