Calls from Moscow
Eldis Botta, Juan Carlos Calderón, Daryl Acuña, Dariel Díaz,
Calls from Moscow follows four queer young Cuban migrants disrupted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, depicting their resilience and isolation through phone calls and remote work. As Mayté Madruga noted, “[Luis Alejandro] Yero presents the cell phone as a real and symbolic tool, through which we glimpse the psychology of his characters, and links this with the social importance that this technology and Internet connection has had in Cuba in recent years.” After its premiere at Berlinale, this feature observational documentary, censored within Cuba, has gained recognition worldwide as one of the most striking documentaries of contemporary Cuban cinema.
