CASTRO AVELLEYRA, Anabella. Two trips, fifty-five siblings and an illusion. Modes of cinematographic approach to the Cuban emigration. Culturales [online]. 2018, vol.6, e353. ISSN 2448-539X.  https://doi.org/10.22234/recu.20180601.e353.

The proposal of the article is to analyze the modes of representation of emigration deployed by Cincuentaicinco hermanos (Jesús Díaz, 1978) and The Illusion (Susana Barriga, 2008), placing both films in their context of cinematographic and socio-political production in Cuba. Hence, we consider the inscription of the filmmakers in the narration as a present absence and as an absent presence and we analyze whether the narrative voice has institutional character, thinking about the type of communicative pact that is established in each case. We evaluate the mechanisms from which it is alluded, with regard to movement, fluency or interruption. Finally, we outline some hypotheses about the figure of the father in these films.

Palabras llave : documentary; Cuba; emigration; identity.
