As opposed to the French who pioneered the lithographic process, Cuban poster production in the 1950s and 60s was primarily centered around silk screening. Images were built up through layers of paint rather than ink, resulting in a poster which more closely resembled a painting than a litho. The printing tradition continues with CartelON, a project devoted to promoting silkscreening in Cuba by organizing graphic design contests where creatives of all ages can be inspired to explore screenprinting.
About the film: Suite Habana (2003), directed by Cuban filmmaker Fernando Pérez, is a poetic documentary that portrays a day in the lives of ordinary people in Havana, Cuba. Through striking imagery, natural sounds, and music, the film follows individuals from different social backgrounds as they navigate their daily routines, personal struggles, and dreams. Without dialogue, interviews, or narration, Pérez creates an intimate portrait of the city, revealing its beauty, contradictions, and resilience through the lives of its inhabitants. The film celebrates the humanity of everyday life while exploring the hopes and challenges of living in contemporary Cuba.
