De cierta manera (One Way or Another)

Feb 21 & 22, 2026
    Part of
  • Black Cuba
  • and
  • BAM Film 2026
Directed by Sara Gómez (1974)
This vivid portrait of the post-revolutionary era explores the relationship between middle-class schoolteacher Yolanda and factory worker Mario, tracing how her latent class bias and his ingrained machismo manifest. In her only full-length feature, Gómez moves fluidly between inter-personal conflict, collective life and documentary footage deliver a sharp, intersectional perspective on the process–rather than the event–of social, economic and political transformation, reckoning with racialized poverty, gendered exclusion, and dedication to the revolutionary horizon.
