Universidad de la Habana - Comisión de Extensión Universitaria, Sección de Cine (cover design and artistic direction: Luis G. Fresquet (Chamaco)), "Arte 7, Año 1, No. 12, Agosto 1971," August 1971. Offset print, magazine.

Issue No. 12 of arte 7 features a bold graphic cover design centered on the theme "las luchas de liberación y la cultura nacional" (liberation struggles and national culture). The cover employs two large film reel symbols rendered in black and halftone yellow-orange against a blue background, creating a strong visual metaphor for cinema's role in revolutionary struggle. A filmstrip motif runs vertically along the right side, containing a quotation from Martinican psychiatrist and revolutionary theorist Frantz Fanon: "La cultura nacional, en los países subdesarrollados debe situarse, pues, en el centro mismo de la lucha de liberación que realizan esos países" (National culture in underdeveloped countries must be situated at the very center of the liberation struggle these countries are waging). This design explicitly positions cinema and cultural production as inseparable from anti-colonial and revolutionary movements.

The editorial board for this issue included Alberto Mora, José Doce Fleitas, Mario Naito López, Orlando Rojas Félix, Teresita Huerta, Alejandro Armengol Ríos, Eugenio Espinosa Martínez, and Bernardo Callejas Ríos, with contributors Agustín Gutiérrez Tomes, Manuel Mariño Betancourt, Luis Díaz Mijares, and José Rojas Bez. The interior features a striking illustration showing an audience of simplified figures arranged in a semi-circle viewing a presentation, suggesting collective engagement with cinema. Contents include György Lukács on Hungarian cinematography, articles on scientific cinema, Fanon's theories on reciprocal foundations of national culture and liberation struggles, and Robert Chesshyre on South African resistance cinema, demonstrating arte 7's commitment to connecting film theory with Third World liberation movements.
