Presas\u2019s goal for this Zoom session was to create a space for his students to connect with a creator of Cuban work and amplify how Padr\u00f3n experiences Cuban culture.<\/p>\n<p>After Presas introduced Padr\u00f3n to the class, the floor was opened for conversation. Students asked questions about the inspiration behind and process of making this film.

But as Presas and Padr\u00f3n pointed out, the communist country is so much more than that. Their roles as creators allow them to reveal a different side of Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy country is not free,\u201d Padr\u00f3n said during the session. \u201cCuba is a beautiful country, but it is difficult to explain and difficult to understand.\u201d His role as a creator, especially a director, allows for creative expression in unexpected ways. Although the government controls film production, there is less censorship of movies than there is of other media.<\/p>\n<p>Jonah Rondash, a senior marine science and Spanish student from Boulder, Colorado, was particularly interested in Padr\u00f3n\u2019s creative process when making the film. \u201cIn a place where everything is so limited,\u201d he says, \u201cit was interesting to learn about his experience and the challenges he faced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Padr\u00f3n had to wait 10 long years to create this film. He pitched the story, which was inspired by his personal experience, to the Instituto de Cine but was not allowed to begin filming until a decade later. Once production was underway, the locals were incredibly supportive of the film, and it continues to impact people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very proud of my students,\u201d Presas says. \u201cThey created a very good rapport and relationship with Ian when he was with us.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extraa-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":9845,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,77],"tags":[782,860,859],"class_list":{"0":"post-9842","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-spanish","9":"tag-axel-presas","10":"tag-ilm","11":"tag-literature"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
