Description
Time is the chronological support of any narrative text. In film, time strings together the plot and the story, but time represents more than just an organizational tool; inside the story, time is also used as a metaphor of political and social events of a country and even could be used as a metaphor of economic status. In her talk, delivered in Spanish with translation by Natalia Pelaz (BU) Ms. Cumana will analyze the different expressive connotations of time and how it relates to the specific Cuban context in three Pérez films: Madagascar (1994), La vida es silbar (1998) and Suite Habana (2003). This talk also ties in with the 2014-15 University Theme, “Living in a Global Community.” On Friday, Ms. Cumana, a former professor at the University of Havana, will host a showing of Suite Habana, followed by questions.
