The last interview to Alberto Korda in 2001 is the base of the documentary “Sencillamente Korda”. The photographer, at his 72 years old talks about his memories while shooting some of his iconic pictures. Diana Díaz, the daughter of the artists, and the Curator Cristina Vives, long time friend of Korda, will talk informally about him, to develop some aspects of his personal life and thoughts beyond his most famous photographs.

"About Her, about Me, and about Them"
All art that calls itself Cuban, whether or not made in Cuba, bears the seal of the country’s history and the existential drama of its inhabitants. Its creators have not succeeded in resisting the need to issue judgment on that history or simply identify themselves in it. It is an unavoidable art-life-society interconnection. About Her, about Me, and about Them is a way of thinking about part of that recent history through photography.

About Her, about Me, and about Them is an unfinished trilogy about a country under permanent construction.
