 Puig and Edmundo Desnoes also made a short, "Sarna" (1952), which was produced and edited by cinematographer Ramón F. Suárez.In October 1950 Herman Puig travelled to Paris where he met with Henri Langlois, the director of the Cinémathèque Française.Their first encounter was brief but decisive as Henri Langlois agreed to supply him with French films for their Cinema Club of Havana (the early Cinemateca de Cuba) but on the condition that their small Cinema Club became an official institution as the Cinémathèque Française could only legally exchange films with a similar institution.
