Cinematic nightscapes
Cinematic Nightscapes explores how the darkness of night in contemporary Cuba becomes a powerful site for political expression, cultural imagination and artistic experimentation.
As the rhythms of the day give way to night, a different Cuba emerges, one where protests take shape, marginalised voices reclaim space, and filmmakers reimagine ethnographic and documentary storytelling.
This book offers a sensorial and creative journey through Cuban documentary films that engage with the night not just as backdrop, but as a central character shaping emotions, aesthetics and socio-political discourse. Blending theory with rich visual analysis, Cinematic Nightscapes asks: How does the night alter ethnographic practice? How do Cuban filmmakers use the night to imagine new futures?
Through a reflexive, multimodal approach, the book invites readers to experience the complexities of nocturnal life in Cuba, where darkness illuminates new possibilities.
