This Big Bang ended Spanish colonial dominance in the Americas and ushered in the era of the American Empire. At the same time and place, a powerful tool of conquest was born: cinema as propaganda. In EPICENTRO, Sauper explores a century of interventionism and myth-making together with the extraordinary people of Havana-particularly its children, who he calls &#8220;young prophets&#8221; &#8211; to interrogate time, imperialism and cinema itself.&nbsp;<em>Written by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/search\/title?plot_author=Anna%20Nymous&amp;view=simple&amp;sort=alpha&amp;ref_=tt_stry_pl\">Anna Nymous<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt11393948\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> IMDB<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A film about the butterfly effect on geopolitics, the paradox of time, the (almost) end of the world, the cinematograph, sex, and sugar.
