How it feels

A mobile cinema truck brings the first film screening ever to a remote Cuban mountain village in 1967. The documentary shows the villagers watching Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times and their genuine reactions to the movie.

What happens

Por Primera Vez est un court-métrage documentaire cubain, réalisé par Octavio Cortázar en 1967. Le 12 avril 1967, un ciné-mobile (camion qui permet de projeter des films) arrive dans le village reculé de Los Munos, dans le massif montagneux de Sierra Maestra, à Cuba et vient projeter Les temps modernes de Charlie Chaplin (1936). Les villageois découvrent un film pour la première fois. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
