EPICENTRO\u00a0is an immersive and metaphorical portrait of post-colonial, “utopian”\u00a0Cuba, where\u00a0the\u00a01898\u00a0explosion of the\u00a0U.S.S.\u00a0Maine\u00a0still resonates. This Big Bang ended Spanish colonial\u00a0dominance in the Americas and ushered in the era of the American Empire. At the same time\u00a0and place, a powerful tool of conquest was born: cinema as propaganda. In his\u00a0latest\u00a0film, Academy Award nominee\u00a0Hubert\u00a0Sauper (DARWIN’S NIGHTMARE)\u00a0explores a century of interventionism and myth-making together with the\u00a0extraordinary people of Havana\u2014who he calls “young prophets”\u2014to interrogate time,\u00a0imperialism and cinema itself.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
