SYNOPSIS From world-renowned filmmaker Hubert Sauper — director of Sundance winner WE COME AS FRIENDS and the Oscar®-nominated DARWIN’S NIGHTMARE — comes EPICENTRO, an immersive and metaphorical portrait of post-colonial, “utopian” Cuba, where the 1898 explosion of the USS Maine still resonates. This Big Bang ended Spanish colonial dominance in the Americas and ushered in the era of the American Empire. At the same time and place, a powerful tool of conquest was born: cinema as propaganda. In EPICENTRO, Sauper explores a century of interventionism and myth-making together with the extraordinary people of Havana — particularly its children, who he calls “young prophets" — to interrogate time, imperialism and cinema itself. HUBERT SAUPER Hubert Sauper was born in Kitzbühel in the Tyrolian Alps and for the past two decades has been based in France after living in Great Britain, Italy, United States, Tanzania, Congo, and South Sudan.

Bei seiner Welturaufführung im Rahmen des Sudance Filmfestivals 2020 in der Reihe World Cinema Documentary wurde EPICENTRO mit dem Hauptpreis ausgezeichnet. SYNOPSIS Hubert Sauper – Regisseur des Sundance-Preisträgers WE COME AS FRIENDS und des Oscar®-nominierten DARWIN’S NIGHTMARE – liefert mit seinem neuen Film EPICENTRO, ein eindringliches und metaphorisches Porträt des postkolonialen, „utopischen“ Kubas, in dem die Explosion des Kriegsschiffes USS Maine 1898 im Hafen von Havanna immer noch nachhallt. Dieser Urknall beendete die spanische Kolonialherrschaft in Amerika und läutete die Ära des amerikanischen Imperiums ein. Gleichzeitig und am gleichen Ort wurde ein mächtiges Instrument der Eroberung geboren: das Kino als Propagandawerkzeug. In EPICENTRO erkundet und befragt Hubert Sauper Menschen in Havanna – hört und sieht besonders die Kinder, die „jungen Propheten“ – die von einem Jahrhundert des Interventionismus und der Mythenbildung erzählen – und hinterfragt damit Zeit, Imperialismus und die Kunstform Kino an sich.

  • Venice International Film Festival
    Venice International Film Festival - Giornate degli Autori Toronto International Film Festival San Sebastian International Film Festival Darwin’s Nightmare is a tale about humans between the North about globalization, and about Some time in the 1960's, in the heart of Africa, a new animal was introduced into Lake Victoria as a little scientific experiment. The Nile Perch, a voracious predator, extinguished almost the entire stock of the native fish species. However, the new fish multiplied so fast, that its white fillets are today exported all around the world. Huge hulking ex-Soviet cargo planes come daily to collect the latest catch in exchange for their southbound cargo… Kalashnikovs and ammunitions for the uncounted wars in the dark center of the continent. This booming multinational industry of fish and weapons has created an ungodly globalized alliance on the shores of the world’s biggest tropical lake: an army of local fishermen, World bank agents, homeless children, African ministers, EU-commissioners, Tanzanian prostitutes and Russian pilots. and the South, fish. Origins of the Nightmare The idea of this film was born during my research on another documentary, KISANGANI DIARY that follows Rwandese refugees in the midst of the Congolese rebellion. In 1997, I witnessed for the first time the bizarre juxtaposition of two gigantic airplanes, both bursting with food. The first cargo jet brought 45 tons of yellow peas from America to feed the refugees in the nearby UN camps. The second plane took off for the European Union, weight with 50 tons of fresh fish. I met the Russian pilots and we became “kamarads”.
