From divisive Tunisian politics and radical Cuban media to Colombian national narratives, this assemblage of short films grapples with our collective notions of history, as well as the ever-permeating nature of social and political change.
At Its Own Rhythm lifts the curtain on a relatively unknown audiovisual archive chronicling the early years and struggles of the Cuban Revolution: the Noticiero ICAIC Latinoamericano (ICAIC Latin American Newsreel). Pairing politically charged visuals with an eclectic soundtrack, Jorge Ayala-Isaza’s film asserts Cuba’s vital role in reshaping the iconography of one of the 20th century’s most revolutionary movements.
