Hi there. I would suggest looking here: http:www.cubancinemaclassics.org. There's a rich tradition in contemporary Cuban works of remixing and going intertextual with revolutionary era works. Dr. Ann Marie Stock here at W&M would also be a good resource for information about emerging (and revolutionary era works). The "Zone of Silence" doc by Karel Ducase mentioned by Nina was subtitled by students here at W&M btw. Here's a link to Stock's latest book. http://uncpress.unc.edu/books/T-8742.html Hope this helps.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
