Migration and Movement

Mon, Feb 23, 2026
    Part of
  • Black Cuba
  • and
  • BAM Film 2026
Two sensitive and speculative films chart the migratory experiences of people in the Cuban diaspora.

Cuban Roots/Bronx Stories (2000)
Dir. Pam Sporn
57min, digital

A Black Cuban family in the Bronx experiences some of the great historical events of the 20th century intimately, yet from a distance—Castro’s arrival in Havana, the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Vietnam war—in this singular project by director Pam Sporn.

Naufragio (2012)
Dir. Dami Sainz Edwards
6min, digital

Filmmaker Dami Sainz Edwards uses repetition and superimposition to look at the act of diving into water, evoking the migratory movement of the Cuban people.

Introduced by Pam Sporn on Monday, Feb 23
