ON FILMING FIDEL
In May 1968, Saul Landau received a call in San Francisco that Fidel Castro was ready to cooperate on a film portrait for public television. Landau and crew arrived shortly thereafter and waited for seven weeks. Then, the phone rang and a voice said “Be in the lobby at 6 a.m. Bring the whole crew and all your film equipment." Three hours after receiving the curt message, two uniformed men walked into the Hotel Habana Libre and helped him and the crew load cameras, lights, tripods and a hundred rolls of film and audio tape stock into two 1958 Mercedes Benz en route to meet Castro.
