Bernabé Hernández
1965 - Cuba - Noir & Blanc - 8'
A documentary on the singer and improviser of traditional peasant music Luis Gómez (1922-2001). “In 1965, I made a documentary with Bernabé that I'm extremely proud of, Sobre Luis Gómez. It's a documentary in still images. It's extremely difficult to do everything with still images. (...) It was at a moment when cinema was in real effervescence. We set out with practically no scenario to encounter a reality, and we had to capture it quickly, without manipulating it — I think that the reality is there for the person who manipulates distorts things savagely and adapts them to his discourse.” Livio Delgado.
