Abstract

The present study attempts to scrutinize the ideas of the Cuban filmmaker and es- sayist Julio García Espinosa. Thereby, we propose to read his theoretical work beyond his famous Porun cine imperfecto manifesto. We believe that an analysis of his little- -studied papers written immediately after the manifesto, helps us to a greater unders- tanding of his ideas, including his famous concept of “cine imperfecto”. Thus, we propose to clarify this term, avoiding the traditional reading of the article Porun cine imperfecto, which isolates it from the author’s later writings.
