With the death of Eduardo Moya, at 80 years old victim of a malignant condition irreversible, Cuban television lost one of its most capable and creative filmmakers, a man deeply committed to the concept of the medium as a carrier of political, ethical and aesthetic values.

Although his latest foray, not very happy to say, made on film, with the film Sumbe (2011), production of ICAIC on one of the episodes of the internationalist epic in Angola, the trail left by Moya on the home screen marked milestones reference not only in soap operas and drama, but also in the musical programming.

it’s time to remember that he was the director meantime (November 1967-April 1968), renovator space and unprecedented vision integrating artistic, starring Silvio Rodriguez and poet who pay tax Victor Casaus and designer René Azcuy. The opening theme was precisely the meantime and closing And nothing else, both of Silvio.

Three years after Moya printed a new dynamic to the juvenile series of adventures with performing commands of silence, inspired by the Uruguayan urban guerrilla Tupamaros. The song that identified the work, composed by Silvio Rodriguez, placed his interpreter, the unforgettable Sara Gonzalez in the popular memory.

Another stellar moment in the televisual career Moya arrived with more than dream ( 1984-1985). Never before had represented the spirit of a generation, then born of the Revolution, whose insertion into the life of the country was reflected with sensitivity and depth in a series that featured in the script with the contribution of the writer Eliseo Altunaga, photography Angel Alderete, the music of Pablo Milanes and protagónicas performances by Luis Alberto García, Rolando Brito, Beatriz Valdés, Isabel Santos, Patricio Wood, and Enrique Alvarez.

criticism also praised the soap opera of your dream my Sleep (1991), which honored the participation of young people in the underground struggle against the Batista dictatorship.

the rigor of his stage direction they left evidence of their high demands on those who accompanied him in adaptations of texts theater for TV, among which excelled the Crucible, of Arthurr Miller, and the inquiry, Peter Weiss.

Artist of Merit ICRT and National Television Award, Eduardo Moya was a tireless promoter discussion forums convened by UNEAC, whose National Council belonged.
