SPACES
Directed by Alysa Nahmias, Benjamin

Multi-layered story of Cuba's National Art
Schools project, designed by three young
artists in the wake of Castro's Revolution.
Cuba's ambitious National Art Schools
project, designed by three young artists,
Ricardo Porro, Vittorio Garatti, and
Roberto Gottardi, in the wake of Castro's
Revolution, is neglected, nearly forgotten,
then ultimately rediscovered as a visionary
architectural masterpiece.
In 1961, three young, visionary architects
were commissioned by Fidel Castro and
Che Guevara to create Cuba's National
Art Schools on the grounds of a former
golf course in Havana, Cuba. Construction
of their radical designs began immediately
and the school's first classes soon
followed. Dancers, musicians and artists
from all over the country reveled in the
beauty of the schools, but as the dream of
the Revolution quickly became a reality,
construction was abruptly halted and the
architects and their designs were deemed
irrelevant in the prevailing political climate.
Forty years later the schools are in use,
but remain unfinished and decaying.
Castro has invited the exiled architects
back to finish their unrealized dream.
UNFINISHED SPACES features intimate
footage of Fidel Castro, showing his
devotion to creating a worldwide
showcase for art, and it also documents
the struggle and passion of three
revolutionary artists.
