A film by Humberto Solas to be shown next Tuesday
The 1968 film Lucia charts women’s roles during different periods in Cuban history. Lucia (155 min) presents the story of women in revolution through the lives of three Lucias, each from a different social class. The first participated in the struggle for Cuban independence from Spain in 1895; the second struggled against dictator Geraldo Machado in 1933 and the last Lucia found her life transformed by Fidel Castro’s revolution in the late 1950s.
Before the Cuban Revolution of 1959, only Mexico —among Latin American nations — had an advanced film industry. One of the first actions taken by the Cuban revolutionary leadership was to found ICAIC, the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematograficos. Films including Solas’s Lucia brought international acclaim to the new industry.
The film will be introduced by Carol Donelan, associate professor of Cinema and Media Studies and Yansi Perez, assistant professor of Spanish.
