Latin American and world film makers will meet from today through December 11th in Havana’s 33rd International Film Festival which is to display 562 films from 46 countries, including 120 in contest.<\/h3>\n

The Argentine comedy Un Cuento China, of Sebastian Borenztein and starring Ricardo Darin, opens this Festival of New Latin American Cinema at Karl Marx Theater. It competes among 21 feature-length for the Coral Award.<\/p>\n

Jazz and Rumba will lighten this opening day fiesta through Harold-Lopez-Nussa and the band El Solar de los seis. Lopez-Nussa told Prensa Latina they have been working a few months on this project that merges rumba and jazz musicians.<\/p>\n

Like Festival President Alfredo Guevara said, the event always represents an invitation to share intelligence and audiovisual art, and to please its fans of these 33 years.<\/p>\n

At noon sharp and in line with the tradition the jury will be presented; it will evaluate the films competing in seven awarding categories: 21 fiction feature-length, 21 opera prima, 25 documentaries, 19 short films, 32 cartoons, 26 unpublished scripts and 16 posters.<\/p>\n

The confirmations so far, that according to the organizers will be joined by surprise guests, include US-Mexican film maker Gregory Nava, actor and musician Harry Belafonte, Puerto Rican actor Benicio del Toro and French actor Laurent Cantet.<\/p>\n

There is a broad international panorama with 14 parallel displays from Serbia, France, Spain, Poland, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, among others.<\/p>\n

Down town Havana ‘s Pabellon Cuba, seat of the Hermanos Saiz Association -that groups Cuba’s young artists- will serve as a secondary venue for the third occasion, enabling university students and the public to exchange with guests to the Festival.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist!
