Page "Chris Marker" Paragraph 10

In January 1961, Marker traveled to Cuba and shot the film ¡ Cuba Sí !.

The film promotes and defends Fidel Castro and includes two interviews with the Comandante.

The film ends with an anti-American epilogue in which the United States is embarrassed by the Bay of Pigs Invasion fiasco, and was subsequently banned.

The banned essay was included in Marker's first volume of collected film commentaries, Commentaires I, published in 1961.

The following year Marker published Coréennes, a collection of photographs and essays on the conditions of Korea.
