Research Projects
The Experimental Cinema of Guillen Landrian in Cuba
On February 18th, Dr. Christine Arce, as a part of Black History Month and in collaboration with Dr. Edmund Abaka of Africana studies, invited Dr. Julio Ramos to present three short films by Afro-Cuban experiemental filmmaker, painter and poet, Nicolás Guillén Landrián (1938 in Camagüey, Cuba - July 23, 2003 in Miami, Florida). Trained at the ICAIC (the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry) as a documentarian, his iconoclastic work soon clashed with the official revolutionary culture in the early 1960´s leading to his expulsion from the ICAIC in 1972. He was exiled to Miami in 1989 where he remained an outspoken critic of racism and consumerism in the US. He died of cancer at Miami´s Mercy Hospital in 2003. His work reflects a radical and complex aesthetic sensibility.
