Abstract

This article explores the rendition of industrial work and a worker´s assembly in Taller de Línea “Claudio A. Camejo” y 18 (1971), one of the last experimental documentaries directed by Cuban filmmaker NIcolás Guillén Landrián before his expulsion from the Cuban Film Institute (ICAIC) in 1972. Particular attention is placed on the disruptive assemblage of sound in this short documentary whose sound-track was partially composed by Leo Brouwer´s Grupo de Experimentación Sonora at the ICAIC.
