Bauer Tells DPA His Film on Che Offers a New Look at the Guerilla Fighter

2010.10.05 - 16:08:41 / [email protected]. Bauer Tells DPA His Film on Che Offers a New Look at the Guerilla Fighter. HAVANA, Cuba.- The documentary “Che. A New Man,” to be premiered in Cuba and Argentina simultaneously is the result of a 12-year research to offer a new look at the intimacy of the legendary revolutionary.

In an interview with the German news agency DPA, director Bauer said the film does not include testimonies from third parties and he said he decided to bring to the fore Guevara’s voice through his diaries and letters, pictures and archive images some of which have not been edited and were donated by the Cuban Art and Film Industry Institute (ICAIC).

From his office in the state-run and public channel where is the head of the National System of Public Media of Argentina, Bauer said there were two key aspects in the making of the movie.

One of them –he said– was Evo Morales’s reaching the presidency of Bolivia, who allowed him to access and take pictures of the secret archives of the Bolivian Army, which killed “Che” in 1967. The other one was the fact that Aleida March, Comandante Guevara’s widow, opened his personal archive to him.

The documentary starts with a video of Che reciting poems by Cesar Vallejo and Pablo Neruda for his wife as a good-bye message.

Bauer said the recording was handed over by Aleida March and it is just one of the many unpublished documents he got for the film.

“Che, A New Man” won the prize for the best documentary at the International Film Festival of Montreal, Canada.

Blauer said he was very impressed by the notebooks Che used to carry with him in which he used to write nearly spontaneous ideas that came to his mind in the din of the battle and then he would rewrite them as he reflected on them and later type them over again.

Seeing that triple writing give us the feeling that were in front of a writer, said the prize-winning Argentinean filmmaker.

Another unpublished testimony included in the documentary is a home-made recording made by Che, in Punta del Este in 1961, of the last time he met with his parents and siblings in Rio de La Plata, Argentina.
