Cuban fever hits London this summer as Havana Cultura supports the Cine Cuba Film Festival at the Barbican Centre. Havana Cultura is a cultural initiative developed by Havana Club. It aims at increasing the visibility of emerging Cuban artists. The summer event forms part of this year’s Cuba50 programme, which celebrates Cuban culture and also marks the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution.
Returning for the second year and fifty years on from the revolution, the Barbican’s Cine Cuba Festival combines contemporary cinematic perspectives on Cuban life and classics from the foremost filmmakers of the post-revolutionary era.
Cine Cuba will feature some of the most acclaimed Cuban actors and directors, including the re-release of Tomás Gutiérrez Alea’s groundbreaking introduction of gay themes into Cuban cinema, Strawberry and Chocolate. You can catch this landmark film every night of the Festival. Other highlights include films from Cuba’s leading contemporary filmmaker Pavel Giroud, the ‘enfant terrible’ of post-revolutionary cinema Humberto Solás and the latest releases from Havana; Personal Belongings, Omertà and The Horn of Plenty.
