    Incredible film making. Hard to believe that is one shot. How do you go from shooting up at the woman in the street to a crane shot of the funeral procession? Had not heard of this film. Here's the first paragraph from Wiki:

    I Am Cuba (Spanish: Soy Cuba; Russian: Я - Куба, Ya - Kuba) is a 1964 anthology drama film directed by Mikhail Kalatozov at Mosfilm. An international co-production between the Soviet Union and Cuba, it was not received well by either the Russian or Cuban public[1] and was almost completely forgotten until it was re-discovered by filmmakers in the United States thirty years later.[1] The acrobatic tracking shots and idiosyncratic mise en scene prompted Hollywood directors like Martin Scorsese to begin a campaign to restore the film in the early 1990s.

    The film is shot in black and white, sometimes using infrared film obtained from the Soviet military[2] to exaggerate contrast (making trees and sugar cane almost white, and skies very dark but still obviously sunny). Most shots are in extreme wide-angle and the camera passes very close to its subjects, whilst still largely avoiding having those subjects ever look directly at the camera.

    Very cool.

    Where is pole vaulting a thing in high school?

    Is there a region or whatever that it’s a real thing kids do? I don’t remember it even being an option at track.

    Does this look a bit dangerous (wait till the end):

    My fairly large public high school in NJ had a very strong track program (we had a few girls go on to make the Olympics in middle distance) and we had pole vault. I don't think there were a ton of participants but it did exist. I just confirmed my memory via google and it is a part of the NJ state championships. I still do not know what makes one decide to be a pole vaulter and I don't know how you start doing it in a way that you don't break your neck if you mess up.

    Duke has actually had quite a bit of success in the pole vault - I believe we have had at least one pole vaulter make the Olympics.

    I think a lot of schools nationally have pole vaulting. The school my kids will be going to when they reach high school has it and they are a mid sized school in New Mexico.

    I'm very fortunate to have a few acres in a dark rural enough area here in SE PA to enjoy lots of fireflies. Also been lucky enough to see the synchronous firefly species in the Smokies...very cool.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
