Incan music, passed down through the centuries, has a contemporary life of
its own in the cities of Peru. Lima
on Sundays is alive with huayno music, in which one hears authentic Inca
melodies performed on every conceivable type of instrument. In the moody lyrics, the musings of
oppressed people assume an existential and timeless quality even when a
carnival atmosphere prevails. This is
one of the few ethnographic videos that deal with complex issues of cultural
mixture. Rather than focusing on a
single community or ethnic group, the video investigates a broad cultural
region and illustrates what happens to it as it confronts the commercial
traditions and demands of the West. |

Holding Back the Tide 30 min., 1996. Thirty-five
years ago Fidel Castro led a revolution that reshaped Cuba. Today, after the collapse of the communist
trading block, Cuba faces a new crisis.
This program examines the problems that face the Cuban people and
their government and, in light of these problems, asks, "what is keeping
Castro in power?" In addition to examining Cuba's economy and the
government's initiatives, the program visits a hospital that offers a painful
metaphor for the decay of Castro's Cuba.

Un hombre de éxito (Director: Humberto Solás)

in. Caracas, Venezuela : Fundación
Cinemateca Nacional : Consejo Nacional de la Cultura, 2002 Original motion picture:
1985. This
is the story of two upper-class brothers, Javier and Darfo, who participate
in the struggle to overthrow Machado during his dictatorship in the 1930s.
Dario is a revolutionary true to his ideals, while Javier is a social climber
and opportunist. Javier charts his way to the top through alliances with
dictators and politicians, becoming a government informer, and eventually a
Congressman during the Batista regime. He causes his brother's murder and his
mother's subsequent suicide. The film traces twentieth-century Cuban history
until 1959 through the life of Javier, exploring the trajectory of a
political and economic class that benefited from Cuba's neocolonial
relationship with the U.S. With the revolution, this class of individuals
would lose their privileged position as the masses became the foundation of
the new society. Leading themes in the film include the accommodation of the
Cuban elite and the Catholic church to the dictatorial governments in Cuba
before 1959, and the achievement of success through betrayal. The film points
out the U.S. influence on Cuban internal politics, as well as the corruption
that was part of the system. In

How Tasty was My Little Frenchman (Director: Nelson Pereira dos Santos) Original
Title: Como era gostoso o meu francês 80 min.: sd.,

1971. From an anthropological

Brazilian coast during the very early colonial period. Ethnographic detail
(dress styles, body decorations, village structures, etc.) is excellent which
also means that there is a great deal of complete nudity on the part of both
sexes. The story is based on the account of Hans Staden-1929 (originally

When outraged Americans demanded action, General John "Black

the last great cavalry mobilizations in American history. Produced by Hector Gálan and Paul
Espinosa, this PBS video uses extraordinary archival footage and interviews

King Does Not Lie The-- The Initiation of a Shango Priest 50 min., color, Filmmakers
Library. Shows
an ancient religion, Santeria, whose New World practitioners have too often
been maligned out of ignorance and prejudice and even harassed by authorities. In this intimate documentary we see a
contemporary Puerto Rican community of santeros
gather for the initiation of a priest of Shango, the "Thundergod"
of the traditional Yoruba religion.
As we follow the initiate through a series of ritual events, a new
perspective on ancient rites is revealed.
From its African origins, including the language in which the chants
are sung, we see the basis of these rites of initiation in ceremonies
performed in the churches and temples of established religions. Sacred stones washed in sacred, leafy
waters become the energy for ritual purification and empowerment. The anointment of head, feet, and stones
with the blood of sacrifice ensures atonement. |
