The Cuban Cultural Middle of New York [CENTRO CULTURAL CUBANO DE NUEVA YORK] presents the 2022 Cuban Movie Competition: “Girls in Focus,” from Saturday, August 20 by way of Tuesday August 30, 2022. [Shown above: still from the opening film, A media voz (In a Whisper), directed by Heidi Hassan and Patricia Pérez.]
Description: Our 2022 movie competition celebrates the multifaceted function of Cuban ladies in cinema—whether or not as director, producer, screenwriter, historic character, or protagonist—and supplies a wide-ranging number of works, from Lucía, the emblematic 1968 basic by Humberto Solás, to the newest avant-garde shorts independently produced in Havana this 12 months. This system provides a complete of 26 entries, together with a collection of groundbreaking documentaries, from close-up portraits of Cuban literary giants José Lezama Lima and Severo Sarduy to the damaged healthcare system within the U.S.; in addition to two of essentially the most extremely acclaimed full-length movies in recent times: In a Whisper, garnering prime prize on the 2019 Worldwide Movie Competition in Amsterdam, and the multi-award winner Defiant Souls, based mostly on a real early nineteenth century transgender saga.
Alongside the late Humberto Solás, the filmmakers embrace Heidi Hassan, Patricia Pérez, Oneyda González, Gustavo Pérez, María Lino, Maryulis Alfonso, Milena Almira, Adriana Bosch, Aimara Fernández, Juan Carlos Alom, Laura Cazador, Fernando Pérez, Gloria Rolando, Claudia Arco, Lucía Morell, Amalia Iduarte, Carmen Jiménez, Alejandra Pino, Mina Barcenas, Monica Baró, Luisa Marisy, Mari Claudia García, most of whom will probably be collaborating in stay Q&A Zoom periods from Madrid, Geneva, Havana, Miami, and New York.
Every movie will probably be streamed twice throughout the competition, as famous beneath. Many of the movies are in Spanish with English subtitles, except in any other case indicated.
