Join us for a virtual discussion with Reynaldo Lastre and Nils Longueira Borrego as we celebrate the publication of their new book, “Memory in Contemporary Cuban Film and Digital Media: Entangled Temporalities.”
The volume examines how Cuban filmmakers, journalists, artists, and activists have used film, digital technologies, and online platforms to revisit the past, recover suppressed or marginalized memories, and challenge established narratives of Cuban history and identity. Bringing together essays on contemporary and independent cinema, digital archives, online activism, and new forms of media production, the book explores how Cuba’s changing mediascape has become an important arena for debates over memory, citizenship, and the legacies of the Revolution.
The co-editors will introduce the book and discuss its central themes, followed by commentary from Paloma Duong and a Q&A with the online audience.
Presentations will be delivered in English and Spanish.
