Found Cuban Mounts

Deutschland 2010 Kurz-Experimentalfilm

Summary

The film traverses Cuba from Havana to the Sierra Maestra, ending
at the jetty where the young revolutionaries first arrived in 1956.
Using post revolutionary monuments as coordinates, it follows,
in reverse, the trajectory of the guerrilla movement that brought
Fidel Castro to power in 1959. The basis of the film’s structure and
rhythm relates to extracts from History Will Absolve Me, a speech
given by Castro at a trial in 1953. Each letter of the speech is
translated into a single frame of film; each word is translated into
a shot.
