At a certain moment of the film, all the moviegoers (including myself; after all, I am not immune to Marti’s mythification) were crying almost uncontrollably. Once the movie was over, the entire audience, while still crying, gave a standing ovation to the film and several embraced one another. Later I spoke with other Cuban friends who told me, without exception, that they had reacted in the same way when they went to watch the movie.

It should be noted that on Sunday, January 3, 1841, thanks to George Washington Halsey, Cuba became the second country in the world and the first in Hispanic America to open a public or commercial daguerreotype studio.1 The prediction later made by Jose Marti in 1885 that “photographers will populate the world!”2 was thus something less than a visionary prophecy since by 1839, more than a decade before his birth, a veritable explosion of enthusiasm for the new daguerreotype technology had begun in Havana. The constant exchange of daguerreo-typists among Havana, Paris, and New York was spectacular during these years, and a number of businesses devoted to the daguerreotype also emerged. Several daguerreotypists from the United States, Canada, Italy, England, Spain, France, and Cuba itself participated in the process of invention and commercialization of the daguerreotype in Havana. This period was when Louis Daguerre’s machine began to be perfected to the point that three-minute shots were made possible, and the evolution of the procedure was such that by the mid-1850s, although it was called “daguerreotype on paper,” what was happening in Cuba and some other countries was in fact photography, complete with the power of large-scale reproduction (Del Valle 2004–5, 4–15; Del Valle 2009, 1–6).
