”A huge blackout has plunged Cuba into darkness. In the streets, the inhabitants try to escape the gloom while the bonfires seem to announce the end of an era. Taking refuge inside our house, my mother tells me about a vision that has been tormenting her for years.” – Alejandro Alonso
This film screens as part of the shorts program History Is Written at Night.

Alejandro Alonso graduated from EICTV, the film school in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, in documentary directing. He is interested in registering the periphery, those displaced and barely visible worlds that function as vanishing points towards more complex imaginaries. His work has been shown at festivals and exhibitions in more than 30 countries, and his film Abyssal was a THFF22 selection.
