Jesús de Armas
1961 - Cuba - Noir & Blanc - 11'
An animated documentary in a polemical tone: a satirical reconstitution of the events at Playa Girón, using a mix of shots of reality with animated drawings. A small section of the ICAIC was devoted to animation. The head of the section was Jesús de Armas who worked with the illustrator Eduardo Muñoz Bachs and the animator Hernán Henríquez. Their films were political satires aimed at an adult audience with the intention of openly denouncing the lies of American imperialism. In terms of aesthetics, they used graphics typical of UPA.
