(KPL/Prensa Latina)Vitry-sur-Seine, a commune in the Paris Region, is hosting from this Saturday to June 21 the 3rd edition of the Cuban Film Festival with the outdoor screening of the film "Havana Moon."
The Cuban culture will be the protagonist in the picturesque town, with concerts, talks, and the screening of emblematic films from different periods, an initiative of the Cuba Cooperation France Association (CubaCoop).
Among the proposals are the films “Guantanamera” (1995) by Juan Carlos Tabio and Tomas Gutierrez Alea; “La Super” (Superheroine, 2022), an animated feature film by Ernesto Piña, and “De cierta manera” (In A Certain Way, 1974), directed by Sara Gómez, who passed away during the filming, so her work was continued by filmmakers Tomas Gutierrez Alea and Julio Garcia Espinosa.
As for “Havana Moon,” which will open the festival, the film, directed by Paul Dugdale, tells the concert of legendary British rock band the Rolling Stones in Havana in 2016.
The meeting of the seventh art dedicated to Cuba has been, in the last two years, a popular festival in Vitry-sur-Seine, whose authorities hope that the experience, motivated by solidarity and understanding between peoples, will be repeated.
A debate on Cuban culture about the impact of the US blockade will be held within the context of the festival.
