- Title
Guanabacoa: Crónica de mi familia: o pioneirismo de Sara Gómez no documentário autobiográfico.
- Authors
Cavalcanti Tedesco, Por Marina
- Abstract
Sara Gómez, black woman and first female Cuban director, has been studied for decades, due to the gender and race issues present in her filmography. However, there are other aspects of the filmmaker's career that are extremely important and were hardly discussed. In the present text, we will treat her condition as a pioneer in autobiographical non-fictional cinema through an investigation on Guanabacoa: Crónica de mi familia (1966). For a better understanding of the importance of this film, we will make, after a brief presentation of the filmmaker, some considerations about the documentary in the first person and autobiographical. Next, we will resort to a review of the bibliography and a filmic analysis in order to identify how Gómez built his cinematographic self-registration and how it allowed her to access her family and talk about something broader: being a black man or black woman in the island, before and after the Revolution.
