About Havana Glasgow Film Festival 2024: The Moving Picture Man / El Cine Soy Yo

After being a peddler, street photographer, radio announcer, policeman, and mechanic, Jacinto (Asdrúbal Melendez) decides to become a film projectionist. He aspires to bring cinema experiences to the people of Venezuela.

To get away from the big city, this Jack of all trades decides to transform a truck into a travelling cinema shaped like a whale. Manuel (Alvaro Roche), a brave eleven-year-old orphan offers his help and becomes part of Jacinto’s trip. Juliet (Juliet Berto), a mysterious French woman also looking for adventure, joins them in this cinematic journey to the end of the world...

El Cine Soy Yo, also known also as The Moving Picture Man is a Venezuelan/French film released in 1977, directed by the prolific film director and writer Luis Armando Roche (1938 - 2021) with Juliet Berto, Asdrúbal Meléndez and Alvaro Roche. It is one of the most representative films of Venezuelan cinema and a celebration of the power of cinema in the most unimaginable circumstances.

The new 4K restoration was undertaken from the negative in 35mm by Bolivar Films in Caracas. Presented as part of Cinema Rediscovered on Tour, a Watershed project in collaboration with Park Circus and StudioCanal. With support from BFI awarding funds from The National Lottery.

Presented by Venezuelan curator Lorena Pino as part of Other Ways of Seeing, supported by BFI awarding funds from National Lottery. Lorena will be present for a post-screening Q&A.
