Movie

De Armas, el último taíno

The documentary presents an uncompromising portrait of the great Cuban artist Jesús González de Armas. He began his career in the 1960s and pioneered animated cinema in his country. Later, he dedicated himself to the visual arts while maintaining his creative independence, eventually going into exile in Paris in 1992. He maintained that the roots of Cuban identity lay in indigenous Taíno culture, a theme he demonstrates in his bold, experimental artworks.
