Filmmaking as process is at the heart of these five films, memorably imaginative attempts at working through a variety of themes, and towards new ways of understanding.
La selva oscura is a record of a long journey connecting two funeral rituals in Cuba: the state burial honoring those who fell in the Angola war and a spiritist ceremony welcoming spirits of the past back into the world of the living. These events, captured by Cuban amateur documentaries filmed in 1987, intertwine to form the core of this film, whose central reflections revolve around loss and oblivion.
