Description
In this session designed to build on Ms. Cumaná’s presentation Thursday on time in the films of Cuban filmmaker Fernando Pérez, the 2003 film Suite Habana will be shown. The unusual and critically praised film, winner of multiple categories including First Prize overall at the 2003 Havana Film Festival, uses only image and sound to document a day in the life of 13 residents of the city isolated from the rest of the world by politics and time. Ms. Cumaná, formerly a professor at the University of Havana (Habana), with the assistance of Dr. Natalia Pelaz will lead discussion of the 75 minute film following its showing.
