The dialogues, narrations and texts must be in Spanish, clarifies the document, while pointing out the need to use subtitles in the pieces of other languages.
The organizers will once again give the award to diversity, which will distinguish the Latin American work that best represents the themes associated with sexual orientation, gender identity and female empowerment.
The Havana Festival maintains its premises around the diffusion of a cinema that contributes to the enrichment and reaffirmation of the Latin American and Caribbean cultural identity, points out PL.
Silvio Rodríguez, Honorary Choir Award at the Havana Film Festival
Also known as the Havana Film Festival, it was inaugurated on December 3, 1979 as a continuation of the Viña del Mar (1967 and 1969), Mérida (1968 and 1977) and Caracas (1974) festivals, as can be read in your website.
It was seen as the definitive response to the urgent demand for a space that would guarantee the systematic encounter between the continent’s cinematographies and their creators.
