"How is mobile cinema useful?" "Mobile cinema crews bring the movies to rural areas." "Each truck is loaded with various equipment, including a small 16 mm projector, an amplifier, speakers and a regulator." "Each truck also has a 2 kW electric generator." "Inside, there is a bed so we can sleep over on projection days." "We go to schools in the daytime, and in the evening, we set up makeshift theaters in barns or in rural meeting halls." "Our truck is both our workplace and our home." "We work and live in it 26 days a month, day and night." "Is there a place where no one has ever seen a movie?" "Yes." "I know a village nearby that is hard to get to." "We've never been able to go." ""Los Mulos" in the Guantanamo- Baracoa mountain range." "I've never been able to get there by truck." "FOR THE FIRST TIME" "As you can see, the cinema truck has arrived." "This cinema truck will be coming from time to time to show movies." "At school in the morning, and meeting halls in the evening." "This morning we'll show last night's movie so all your friends can come and see." "Delia and Darvis, come along to see the movie." "How many of you have already seen a movie?" "Not me." "Not at the cinema." "You've never been to the cinema?" "I don't remember." "You told me you went in Caujeri." "No, that was Delia." "I wasn't so lucky." "I've never seen a movie." "Yes you did, with all those people." "Don't you remember?" "I don't even know what cinema is." "All I know is..." "Cinema is movies." "Who has really never been to the cinema?" "Ovidio, I think." "She's wrong, I've been to the cinema." "In Baracoa, in Guantanamo..." "But I can tell you, around here most farmers don't know what cinema is." "We've been living here for about 15 years." "I'm from Jauco." "How long have we been living here?" "Sixteen years." "I have no hobbies." "I never go out." "There's no place to go, nothing to do..." "I have... twelve children and who knows how many grandchildren!" "Only God knows!" "I've got some in Baracoa and some here." "I've never seen a movie because our old government forbid the movies, and the movies didn't come here." "What is a movie, in your opinion?" "Something important, because everyone's interested." "It must be something beautiful, and important." "Maybe it's a great group of people who have lots of important things." "A movie is... all those things you see in the cinema." "There are beautiful things, beautiful girls, weddings, horses, wars..." "Everything." "I've never seen a movie, you know." "I imagine it like a party." "A dance or something like that." "I've never seen one, I can't tell you what it is." "I'd like to see one, to know what it is." "Rather than just hearing about it." "And that is how, on April 12th, 1967, in the village of Los Mulos, over 100 people saw a movie... for the first time..." "A movie is a beautiful and important thing."
