BLACK CUBAN SHORT FILMS: A CONTEMPORARY WAYWARD SELECTION (N/C 18+)

What are you expecting from Black Cuban Cinema? It is probably not here. This event brings together an intriguing selection of seven contemporary short films in different formats and scales: animation, documentary, experimental, fiction and videoclips, all together, all made by contemporary Black Cuban filmmakers, some who live abroad, some who remain on the island.

This unpredictable blend is made up of an intimate approach to sexuality and gender identity, a social media comedy, an experimental ritual to San Lazaro, an analogy between cimarronismo and homosexuality, a real life project that promotes free expression via Hip-Hop among marginalised youth, an experiment in digital poetics, and two dramas, one about a circus and its lion during the Special Period and an energetic different kind of Cuban story, about two top internet influencers competing to be number one.
