| Résumé anglais |
One of the most important revolutionary social changes to have emerged alongside the Revolution was that affecting Cuban women. The end of 1980s and early 1990s represent a turning point in Cuban cinema and a departing point for a “revolutionary” approach to gender in Cuban filmography. From this perspective, this study will focus on two eloquently representative short films—Zoë (dir. Mario Crespo) and Adriana (dir. Mayra Segura) from the collective film Mujer transparente (1990), a five-part feature film made under the general direction of Humberto Solás. I have selected these two short films, directed by a man and a woman respectively, in order to demonstrate that a substantial number of films made by male directors, like those by female filmmakers, have direct and crucial implications for feminism.
