Cuban street artists are having their moment. Their own fight against the countries harsh censorship laws have recently made international headlines. Fabian is one of the movement’s fearless and prolific leaders. You cannot walk for more than a few blocks without seeing his character, the Supermalo or his signature 2+2=5? painted on the crumbling walls of Havana. ‘Supermalo’ follows Fabian's development as an artist over the course of two years. The film explores the struggles of creating work in his home country of Cuba, and documents his first time ever leaving the island to exhibit his artwork internationally in Paris.
