XVIII Gibara International Film Festival

Havana, Aug. 10 (RHC) The XVIII Gibara International Film Festival, which is being held in this city in the Cuban province of Holguin, will close on Saturday with the awarding of the Lucia Prize in various categories.

In the evening, the Closing Ceremony will be held at the Jibá Cinema, where the best of the 83 selected films will be honored, including 11 feature films, 24 short feature films, 11 feature documentaries, 22 short documentaries and 15 animated films.

This Saturday morning, the Casa de la Cultura has reserved a talk with artists Jorge Martínez, Lola Amores, Alberto Corona, Liliana Lam and René de la Cruz, followed by the screening of the Festival Internacional de Cine Social de Castilla-La Mancha (Feciso) at the Municipal Museum.

The Plaza Colón Hotel will also host the awards ceremony, while music and visual arts will be the protagonists of the Villa Blanca.

Under the name of Filma el Oriente (Film from the East), this year the event resumed Cine en Construcción and invited the Factoría del Cine Pobre (Poor Cinema Factory), which focuses on supporting audiovisual production in the east of the country and in Camagüey.

For their outstanding contribution to the seventh art in Cuba, three personalities will be honored with the Lucía de Honor 2024 Award: filmmakers Manuel Herrera (Zafiros, locura azul, 1997) and Manuel Pérez (El hombre de Maisinicú, 1973), and cinematographer Livio Delgado (Un hombre de éxito, 1986).

Film, music, literature, visual and performing arts will be mixed in honor of a festival that each year revisits the idea of its founder, the outstanding filmmaker Humberto Solás (1941-2008). (Source: Prensa Latina)
