Este ciclo de cine cuenta con las presentaciones de Juan A. Suárez, especialista en cine underground norteamericano, Rolando Peña, artista venezolano y protagonista de Diálogo con el Che, y MM Serra, cineasta, programadora y archivista fílmica responsable de la restauración del film.  

Diálogo con el Che muestra en dos pantallas a un combativo Che Guevara, interpretado por Rolando Peña, hablando del futuro y qué es Latinoamérica. Rodada al poco de conocerse la muerte del Che, es un ejercicio de invocación animado por las técnicas del actor distante de Bertolt Brecht y el cine político de Glauber Rocha, Fernando Pino Solanas y Jean-Luc Godard.
