Episode 5: ‘In the name of Henry’. Conversación con Carlos Quintela

At an undetermined time in the near future, two artificial intelligences converse about the Cuban medical brigades while reviewing archival materials. Their views question the official discourse surrounding the brigades—according to which Cuban medicine is the living image of revolutionary humanism—and instead explore a narrative that reveals the transformation of revolutionary myth into the marketing of an economic project.

This is the synopsis of a film by Cuban filmmaker Carlos Quintela, who leads us through the episode, reflecting upon his creative process, the possibilities of artificial intelligence, and the investigation he conducts into the complexities of the myth of the revolution and its possible deconstructed forms.
