- "Floating in the River of Time" is a meditative observation of the poetry present in the world of Pedrito, an elderly man of the mountains and relic of a time that no longer exists, while he comes to an understanding of his physical mortality, and becomes aware of his spiritual immortality. This 13-minute short documentary was filmed at the home and surroundings of Pedro García Pineda, a Cuban former national boxing champion who resides in the Buey Arriba, Granma, situated within the Sierra Maestra - the largest mountain range in Cuba. The film was the final primary excercise for the second-year students specializing in documentary direction at Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV). It was a process that placed emphasis on the solitary process of documentary filmmaking - highlighting the difficulties as well as liberties that come with it. For this excercise, the developer of their film acted as producer, writer, directer, cinematographer, editor, and post-production coordinator. have been a martial artist since I was 5 years old. Speaking from personal experience, I believe martial arts can be a tool for understanding yourself, and for understanding life, because everyone has something to fight for, from the moment they are born. In boxing specifically, there is only offense and defense. There is no escape. In a boxing ring, it is just you and the opponent in front of you. To win and overcome the obstacle in your way, you have to be present, allowing everything else outside of the ring to disappear so you can focus on that which is in front of you at that point in space and time. It is the only thing that matters in that moment. For those who do not practice boxing, that ring can just be a metaphor for your mind - the opponents and obstacles in front of you, or your own memories and thoughts that are weighing you down. To win, you have to control the rhythm of the fight. Your body has to coincide with your mind. You have to take control of your own breathing, a process that normally occurs naturally. You have to make the decision to not be a passive participant in life, and instead be an active one. You have to change states, being soft like a stream of water to go with the flow when necessary, and crashing down with the force of a hail storm when it is becomes the right time. And sometimes, although you do everything according to plan, you can still get knocked down and feel defeated. But when this happens, you are no longer fighting someone else, you are fighting your own insecurities and doubt, and your own thoughts that are telling you to give up. But that's where the true test is. The real value is being able to overcome your own shortcomings. To face yourself. This is what I wanted to show with this film. Not many people can relate to being a champion-level fighter on a national and international level, as Pedrito was. Not many can relate to having been a combatant in Angola for two years. Not many people can relate to having walked for eight miles every day just to train. Not everyone can relate to the struggles of everyday life for an old Cuban bread salesman living up in the mountains, who practices the religion of Spiritism. But everyone can relate to the feeling of nostalgia for moments in their past that will never return, especially when facing the mundanity of everyday life, or the limitations that come with getting older. Everyone can relate to the existential crisis brought about upon by confronting one's own mortality. Everyone has something to confront, and everyone has their own ways of overcoming and navigating their way throughout life. With Pedrito, I intended to convey some of these ideas from my perspective.
