Cuban audiovisual producer Roberto Chile announces photographic exposition

Havana, Jul 3 (RHC) Renowned Cuban audiovisual producer, cameraman and cultural promoter Roberto Chile announced the preparation of a photographic exhibition entitled Convergence, on the occasion of his 70th birthday next September.

I couldn't find a better way to celebrate, the scriptwriter, director of documentaries, reports and short films on the history, culture and current affairs of the Caribbean's largest island told Prensa Latina in Havana.

Each set, because it will have single images, four and up to 10 together, will have tenths of the Antillean writer Alexis Díaz Pimienta, said the author of "Desafío", "En mis ojos brillas tú", or "Elogio de la Virtud".

We've already worked a lot on that and I'm dedicated to preparing it," said Chile, who has previously shown his photographs and other collective exhibitions in the United States, Germany, Spain and Belgium, among them Afrodescendants or Guanabacoa-Cuba.

I will summon my friends and all the people who are interested in what I do with my camera to the El Reino de Este Mundo Gallery of the National Library in Havana," he said.

Born on September 27, 1954, Chile said that the two most important missions he has for this time are to sow love, affection and trust wherever he goes. That is a difficult task, he admitted, "but I intend to leave a trail of affection wherever I am, with my work, the treatment of other human beings, whether in Cuba or abroad," he said.

The other mission is to support my children (Daniel and Yanelis), stressed the 2019 José Martí National Journalism Award winner, with the Replica of the Machete Mambí of General Máximo Gómez (1998).

He expressed his pride that the former followed the path of audiovisual production, "it is very stimulating", he stressed, and said that they have worked together, "I have taught him everything I could, but I have learned from him". Cuban historian Eusebio Leal (1942-2020) said that Chile "has been able to forge a singular, always dignified and luminous image of Cuba.

His images make up a universe of faith and spirituality, perceptible to those who, like him, are capable of loving, the intellectual said. (Source: Prensa Latina)
