Cuban Cinema
March 8 - 16, 2019
March is a perfect time to take a break from the cold and visit Cuba, which, like other Caribbean nations, has warm weather and fabulous beaches, parks, villages, and towns. But Cuba also has an international reputation for producing some of the best, most popular, and most innovative cinema in Latin America.
​
Join us—with University of Vermont Professor John Waldron, University of Havana professors, and Cuban film luminaries—for a survey of Cuban Cinema, from the revolutionary "Golden Age" period to recent popular films and new experimental cinema. We will view and discuss several award-winning films, analyzing them through the lens of Cuba's social and historical contexts.
We will also tour Havana. You will have time to explore this fascinating city, known for its rich history, culture, architecture and music.
