Santiago Gonzalez: How Los Frikis Brought 1990s Havana to Life (Special Cameraimage Episode)

When the realities of censorship made filming in Cuba impossible, production of Los Frikis moved to the Dominican Republic, where cinematographer Santiago González and his team worked tirelessly to create a world that felt authentic down to the sodium vapor streetlights. In this special Camerimage episode, Ava Benjamin Shorr and Lauren Guiteras sit down with Santiago and break down how the film’s color palette, lens choices, and shooting methodology reinforce its themes of rebellion and freedom.

Los Frikis will be available to stream beginning March 28th.
