Havana Glasgow Film Festival 2021
16 – 21 November, 2021
The UK’s only Film Festival celebrating Cuban Film and Culture
As the festival goes into its seventh year, HGFF is proud to share and celebrate Cuba’s inspiring culture and achievements during one of the toughest points in its history. Despite the challenges of COVID19, increased sanctions, food shortages and dramatic changes in weather, Cuba remains resilient and resourceful with an enduring ability to not just survive but adapt and, as co-director Hugo Rivalta puts it, ‘keep standing’. Cuban people are adept at expressing these challenges creatively and it is this resourcefulness – and extraordinariness – that is being highlighted this year in a hybrid Festival of online and live screenings.
Opening Night
With directors Mark Craig and Eduardo Flores Torres in-person to discuss their films ‘Running for the Revolution’ and ‘Fidel Up Close’.
Featured director this year, is acclaimed filmmaker Arturo Sotto, who will also be live at the Festival to present four of his films.
