Existen/They Exist
Esteban Insausti, Cuba, 2005, DV, B&W, 22'
This is Havana today and madness seems to inhabit it. These people 'exist' and because of that, their voices must be heard. What does a mentally ill person think about the world that surrounds him? What does he think of God, his country's foreign policy, culture and economic growth? Estamos en La Habana de ahora mismo y la locura parece transitarla... Existen y por esa misma y obvia razn, habra que darle un voto a esas delirantes voces. Qu piensa un enfermo mental del mundo que le rodea? Cmo ve a Dios, a la poltica exterior de su pas, a la cultura, al crecimiento econmico?

La Pared/The Wall
Alejandro Gil, Cuba, 2006, DV, 90'
Diego decides to isolate himself from reality because he does not understand humanity and his past pains him. He believes people do not have the ability to love and dream. Hence, Diego locks himself in a windowless room where he spends his days, drawing on a wall, a window through which only he can see the other side. This window projects his hopes, his metaphor of reality. Dolz is a specialist who has been treating patients in the same place. The building is condemned because it is about to collapse and all need to evacuate it. Diego, the last patient inside, does not want to leave. Dolz does not consider Diego a mental patient so all must be done to bring back Diego from this state before the building collapses.
Diego decide aislarse de la realidad porque no entiende la humanidad, le duele su pasado, la imposibilidad de la gente para querer, para soar. Diego se encierra en un saln sin ventanas donde transcurren sus das, dibuja en una de las paredes una ventana por donde solo l logra ver al otro lado. Una ventana donde se proyecta su esperanza, su metfora de la realidad. Dolz es un especialista que lleva tiempo tratando pacientes en ese lugar, pero los han evacuado a todos porque el edificio se va a derrumbar. Diego es su ltimo paciente y no quiere salir, pero Dolz no considera a Diego un enfermo mental, para l, Diego es un prfugo de la vida, y debe lograr que Diego retorne a la realidad antes que el edificio se derrumbe.
