Soy Cuba, O Mamute Siberiano (I Am Cuba: The Siberian Mammoth (2004)



Review: Delves into the creation of the Soviet/Cuban film "I Am Cuba" more than 40 years ago. It follows Soviet filmmaker Mikhail Kalatosov as he travels to Cuba in the early 1960s to make his film, a vignette drama which failed in both countries and was ressurrected in the West in the 1990s when Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese endorsed Milestone Films' 1993 ancillary release. First-time Brazilian director Vicente Ferraz arrives in Havana to track Kalatosov's ambitious 14-month shoot.
