The Short Documentary Films of Sara Gómez
About
Gómez was one of the most inventive filmmakers of postrevolutionary Cuban cinema. Through their intimate engagement with documentary subjects, her films look at the complexities of the Caribbean island’s social, political, and economic transformation. Her focus on social class, gender, and racial inequity within the socialist society challenged the political discourses of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
