Greetings Hivers 馃幀
A few days ago the Cuban film world was shaken by the Film Festival, and I thought it was a good idea to take a walk along 23rd and 12th Street, where the headquarters of this great event are located. They placed screens along the street, and those cameras that are always there, that I have seen so many times, suddenly seemed to come to life. It felt as if they were remembering the thousands of meters of film that once ran through their insides, forever marked by the images that have entertained us for so many years.
So today I want to pay a small tribute to these metal beasts, machines with gears as precise and complex as a clock, whose only purpose has been to gift us stories, emotions, and memories that remain alive in our collective memory, even when they no longer turn as they once did.
Because beyond technology, beyond modern digital cameras, streaming platforms, and everything new that surrounds us, these relics remain silent witnesses of an art form that was born with them and still beats strongly in the hearts of every cinema lover.
Thank you for joining me on this small visual journey through nostalgia, memory, and the magic of cinema. We will keep meeting, always with a camera close by, whether to photograph or to dream.

Hace unos d铆as estuvo el mundo del cine cubano revuelto por el Festival de Cine y pens茅 que era una buena idea darme una vuelta por la calle 23 y 12, donde est谩 la sede de este evento. Pusieron pantallas en la calle y estas c谩maras que siempre est谩n ah铆, siempre las he visto, pero esta vez parec铆a que cobraran vida, como si recordaran los miles de metros de pel铆cula que pasaron por sus entra帽as y quedaron marcados para siempre con esas im谩genes que tanto nos han entretenido a lo largo de los a帽os.
As铆 que hoy quiero brindarles un peque帽o homenaje a esas bestias de metal, m谩quinas con engranajes tan precisos y complejos como un reloj, cuyo 煤nico prop贸sito ha sido regalarnos historias, emociones y recuerdos que siguen vivos en la memoria colectiva, aun cuando ellas ya no giren como antes.
Porque m谩s all谩 de la tecnolog铆a, de las nuevas c谩maras digitales, del streaming y de todo lo moderno que nos rodea, estas reliquias siguen siendo testigos silenciosos de un arte que naci贸 con ellas y que a煤n late fuerte en cada amante del cine.
Gracias por acompa帽arme en este peque帽o recorrido visual por la nostalgia, la memoria y la magia del cine. Nos seguimos viendo, siempre con una c谩mara cerca, sea para fotografiar o para so帽ar.
