In Cuba, artists have to be recognized by one of the state-sponsored art institutions that ensure their work complies with the state’s vision and policy. Existing as an independent artist means having no income and no rights, and being subjected to various forms of control and intimidation.When independent filmmaker Miguel Coyula casts upcoming actor Lynn Cruz in his new dystopian feature Corazón azul in 2011, it marks the beginning of a professional as well as a romantic bond. It’s also the starting point of this documentary exposing a range of disturbing interactions the artists subsequently had with a wide variety of institutions and individuals—in true Kafkaesque fashion, oppression looms everywhere. Even outside of Cuba, where they are met with similar dogmatism coming from critics of the regime.In ten elliptic chapters, Chronicles of the Absurd tells this story mostly through audio recordings, often made in secret. Verbatim transcripts, displayed in graphic text underlining the dynamics of the conversations, are paired with head shots, logos, film posters, and paintings by Cuban artist Antonia Eiriz. The austere form reflects the hardships faced by Cuban filmmakers, whose freedom of expression is daily violated by a despotic system.

Als de onafhankelijke filmmaker Miguel Coyula in 2011 acteur Lynn Cruz cast in zijn nieuwe dystopische speelfilm ...
In Cuba moeten kunstenaars zich laten erkennen door een staatsinstituut dat erop toeziet dat hun werk past in de politieke visie van de regering. Onafhankelijk kunstenaar zijn betekent: geen inkomen, geen rechten, maar wel allerlei vormen van toezicht en intimidatie.Als de onafhankelijke filmmaker Miguel Coyula in 2011 acteur Lynn Cruz cast in zijn nieuwe dystopische speelfilm Corazón azul, is dat het begin van een professionele en romantische relatie. Het is ook de start van deze documentaire, die een reeks onrustbarende aanvaringen belicht die de kunstenaars sindsdien hadden met een scala aan organisaties en individuen – op Kafkaiaanse wijze besluipt de beklemming hen van alle kanten. Zelfs vanuit de critici van het regime, die hen in het buitenland met identiek dogmatisme tegemoet treden.In tien elliptische hoofdstukken vertelt Chronicles of the Absurd dit verhaal bijna volledig in geluidsopnamen, vaak in het geheim gemaakt. De letterlijke transcripten, weergegeven in grafische tekst die de dynamiek van de gesprekken benadrukt, worden gekoppeld aan pasfoto’s, logo’s, filmposters en schilderijen van de Cubaanse kunstenaar Antonia Eiriz. De sobere vorm weerspiegelt de ontberingen van Cubaanse filmmakers, van wie de vrijheid van meningsuiting dagelijks wordt geschonden door een despotisch systeem.
