One night a month, the cinema schools invites you to discover the history and current events of Cuba by screening feature films and short films, fiction films and documentaries.
The organizers assure that this initiative will allow to see or review classics, and discover new voices of Cuban cinematography. Each projection will be presented by the director of the film in question or by a specialist in Cuban cinema.
The organization of the exhibition has been possible thanks to the FSPI (Solidarity Fund for Innovative Projects), a support for new cinemas and the Cuban film industry presented by the French embassy in Cuba.
