Cuban Song |
|
Cuban Song simply shows the effusion of life at the heart of the
everyday - observing the ordinary, accessing the extraordinary and the
unusual, and rendering the joy of discovering another culture.
This travel journal is a reverie, a meditation, a hymn to Cubans and
their vitality. We are carried away by anodyne details, much to the
pleasure of eye and heart. The film finds its rhythm and breath in the
music that pervades Cuban life.
On July 6, 2006, filmmaker Fernand Bélanger passed away, leaving behind
the first cut of Cuban Song. His long-time collaborators, Yves
Angrignon and Louise Dugal, finished the film, respecting the spirit of
their friend's work.
This final film gives us privileged insight into the art of this great
filmmaker, too soon departed

Fernand Bélanger
(1943-2006)
Native of Rivière-du-Loup, Fernand Bélanger worked in cinema as a film
director, editor, and scriptwriter. As editor, he worked with many
filmmakers in documentaries, animation, and fiction. He was considered
"an outstanding, stimulating, and innovative filmmaker, known as much
for his themes as for his style" (per Patrick Leboutte in Cinémaction.)
