First Charge Of The Machete
(Manuel Octavio Gmez, Cuba, 1969, Beta-SP, 84 min)
Cuban director Gmez combines elements of documentary form with extreme stylization in this experimental retelling of a battle between Cuban rebels and the Spanish army in 1868. This film, chosen at random after the scheduled opening film did not arrive in time, was the first film ever shown as part of Directors Fortnight. Machete enjoyed a great public response and was picked up for distribution immediately after the premiere screening.
