Agnès Varda - Salut les cubains (1963)

Salut les Cubains anima mil quinientas de las más de cuatro mil instantáneas que Varda tomó durante sus vacaciones en Cuba. Mediante el montaje, la realizadora consigue que las personas retratadas canten y bailen, en lo que ella denomina como socialismo y cha cha cha.

1963's Salut les cubains is a collaboration with Yves Montand that compiles Varda's photojournalism from Cuba, ten years after the revolution, into a celebratory ode to the island, its people and culture, and the still-very-young socialist state. The images are striking from a historical standpoint, although they don't hint quite yet at the more poetic direction toward which Varda's work will evolve. Her photo-montage style recalls both Soviet revolutionary film and the Cuban documentaries of Santiago Álvarez, whose career was just beginning at this time. Moments are poignant, such as seeing Cuban director Sara Gomez cutting up around the ICAIC studios shortly before her death. But Salut les cubains' dominant impression is one of boundless energy and the nation's great hope in trying to forge a new way of life.
