Waiting for Fidel 1974 ‧ Documentary/Political cinema ‧ 58 mins
This feature-length documentary from 1974 takes viewers inside Fidel Castro’s Cuba. A movie-making threesome hope that Fidel himself will star in their film. The unusual crew consists of former Newfoundland premier Joseph Smallwood, radio and TV owner Geoff Stirling and NFB film director Michael Rubbo. What happens while the crew awaits its star shows a good deal of the new Cuba, and also of the three Canadians who chose to film the island.
Plot
Two Canadians, former premier of Newfoundland Joey Smallwood and broadcaster Geoff Stirling, travel to Cuba in a private jet. They attempt to meet Fidel Castro to discuss Cuba–United States relations, but Castro never shows up. Instead, much of the film consists of discussions between progressive Smallwood and free-marketer Stirling about the effects of the Castro regime. The film’s name is a take on the play Waiting for Godot, which has a similar conceit of two men conversing while they await a guest who never arrives.
Critical reception and influence
New York Times film reviewer Richard Eder observed that “It is about Cuba, in a way, but it is also about the difficulty in seeing Cuba for what it may be.”[2] Gary Evans, in his chronicles of the National Film Board of Canada, called the film “one of the most intriguing documentaries of the period”.[1] The film has been cited as an inspiration for director Michael Moore.[3]
