Lillian Guerra Patriots And Traitors

[Amabella Batton]

Despite these new creative possibilities, the fate of each film reveals that the dichotomy of patriots and traitors is still alive in Cuba in many ways. Sueos al pairo was censored from the 2020 Muestra Joven de Cine Cubano, a festival dedicated to up-and-coming filmmakers. Marginalized from future professional opportunities in Cuba, its codirectors are now in Europe in quasi-exile. Similarly, Santa y Andrs was censored from the Havana Film Festival in 2016. After further brushes with Cuban authorities, its director, too, recently left the country.
