A Berlinale Forum player, “Between Dog And Wolf” portrays a real gang of former Cuban guerrillas who hide out and train in Cuba’s Sierra Maestra, as if the war and the Revolution aren’t over.
The new docu-fiction feature of Irene Gutiérrez is produced by Spain’s El Viaje Films and Cuba’s Autonauta Films and is sold by Tenerife-based Bendita.
Gutiérrez’s works have premiered at the Berlinale, Rotterdam and the MoMA Documentary Fortnight, among other events. As in her other works, “Between Dog And Wolf” veers between intimate portrait and lush landscape, depicting poetically the conflict between individual and establishment dictates.
The film’s protagonists are Estebita, Miguel and Alberto, three former Cuban guerrillas. What attracted you the most to them?
As in “Hotel Nueva Isla,” I am interested in filming living protagonists who built historical processes and now are anonymous heroes for the rest of the world.
