For this year’s Fall Season opener, we again join forces with Anthology Film Archives to offer a unique view of Cuba’s history and culture from 1961 to the present, this time with a series of highly acclaimed full-length documentaries and shorts by new and established Cuban, American, and European directors—almost half of them women—reflecting a rich variety of themes, but all with Cuba as a point of reference.
Most of the filmmakers will participate in a Q&A via Zoom at this link:
