Los Zapaticos me Aprietan is a 1999 Cuban short film that uses documentary footage of people's shoes to convey a political message. The film was directed by Humberto Padrón.[1]
Padrón filmed the six-minute short while he was a student at Havana's Superior Institute of Arts (ISA), and intercuts sped-up shots of people's feet in various kinds of shoes with footage of soldiers marching in boots, alongside a jazz soundtrack.[1]
