Example #35 is based on images discovered in Cuba’s judicial archives, which hold the island’s most jealously guarded secret: an alternative history in which the nonconformists, the misfits, and the dissidents dwell. “With mud, bricks are made. With linen, sheets are made. With grain, bread is made. With grapes, wine is made. But with man, what is made?”
This film screens as part of the shorts program History Is Written at Night.

Lucía Malandro and Daniel Saucedo came together creatively in 2018 while studying at EICTV, the film school in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, with the aim of rescuing and intervening in historical archives, both filmic and photographic. They use film to explore the theatricality and audiovisual resources with which political systems construct historical fictions. They are the founders of the collective Archivistas Salvajes, focused on establishing the first archive of Cuban amateur and independent cinema, outside of the state industry.
