Residency
Alejandro Alonso Estrella
Alejandro is an experimental and documentary filmmaker from Pinar del Rio, Cuba. His work meditates on the ideological constructs of nationhood, homeland and access. Through experimentation with form and visual language he trifles with territorial limitations to reflect on alternative Cuban futures and reimagines the past.
Alejandro shared the archive behind the films:
The Son of a Dream | 2016, 9'
My uncle Julio César left for the United States during the Mariel Exodus in 1980. The letters and postcards that served as a bridge between him and our family.
Home | 2019, 8'
The people of Cuba have been condemned to wander. New images aspire to be definitive, with the hope of revealing the most intimate memory, the first home.
