caguayoAn exploration of the diversity of lizards in Cuba with a message about people being connected to nature in complex ways. SynopsisFilmed in Cuba, caguayo is a poetic exploration of the curiosity of nature. Through beautiful images and voice, including words from leading scientist Luis Diaz from the Museum of Natural History in Havana together with other local people, caguayo explores the great diversity of lizards in Cuba. While discovering the range of habitats, behaviour and colors of lizards, the film brings a message of how people are connected to nature in complex ways. Screenings & Awards DC Environmental Film Festival's Green Film Forum, 2008 View the videocaguayo (QuickTime) Artist's Statementcaguayo was made during the Summer 2006 Pan Caribbean Project for Environmental Film and Wildlife Documentaries residency held at Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV), San Antonio de los Banos, Cuba. Filmed in HD, caguayo was produced, directed, written and filmed by an international team of three women: Jennifer Galvin (USA), Elena Sierra (Spain) and Uliana Duarte (Brazil). During this wildlife documentary residency, teams were to create 5 minute videos about one animal – our group was assigned to lizards. Other groups focused on frogs, spiders and bats. Together, we challenged our filmmaking techniques, sleeping schedules and language skills while exploring the amazing ecosystems of Cuba – from the forests of Soroa to the streets of Havana – and learning more about lizards and ourselves than we ever expected.
