"Juan of the dead", new cuban cinema. Another revolution is about to begin.

[Carlos Dueñas]

This is Cuba's first zombie movie. Directed by Alejandro Brugués, had its world premiere yesterday night at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Filmed with the Red One MX. Its going to be a hell of a ride.

This is an article from the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-11867532

And a blogpost in spanish. http://cinefotografiando.blogspot.com/2011/09/juan-de-los-muertos-el-nuevo-cine.html

LOL!!

Having been to Cuba four times in the last decade on cultural and teaching exchanges, I gotta say there is no country in the world with more raw artistic talent per capita. I've been hooked on Cuban cinema since seeing "The Last Supper" several decades ago. Great to see Cuban cinema reviving, and incorporating crazy Cuban humor - packed with double meanings, I'm sure. On the more serious side, how about loaning that RED to Gloria Rolando?

Que viva Cuba!

Steve, that i know, there is no Red cameras based in the island actually. There is only a couple of Rental Houses that bring them there if nedeed. The cameras used in "Juan of the dead" were brought from Spain. Two MX packages.
