They were expectant of our reaction, just like we are when we show our films. It was then that it dawned on us that we had traveled there to shoot a self-portrait.”

Havana Motor Club
Directed by Bent-Jorgen Perlmutt

Alongside the recent loosening of tense diplomatic relations between the US and Cuba comes Havana Motor Club, a documentary detailing the automotive subculture centered in Havana. Though this subculture has thrived in Cuban tradition for decades, it is, inevitably, a capitalist industry that signified class status and had to be axed under communist rule. But this community’s dedication has preserved the legacy of street-racing as a kind of guerilla art form, expressed in resistance to Castro’s regime. The film catches up with several street racers as they scramble to assemble their cars in time for the first legitimate street race sanctioned by the Cuban government.
