Havana, September 10 (RHC)-- To celebrate three decades of work by Televisión Serrana, Cuba's Cinemateca will screen from this Sunday until next Wednesday a series of documentaries produced by the eastern Cuban television station.

The show, which will be screened at the 23rd and 12th movie theaters in Havana, includes a group of renowned documentaries, the result of a selection of the best of the outstanding production company, which is in charge of bringing to the screen the history and traditions of the inhabitants of the Cuban highlands.

Established in the town of San Pablo de Yao, in the Sierra Maestra, the video and television project founded by filmmakers Daniel Diez and Waldo Ramirez, from the beginning has earned the respect of the community and the country for the quality of its films and the faithful reflection of the reality of the area.

The presentations at the Havana movie theater will begin with the documentary "Del lado de acá del río", directed by Diez, which shows how natural disasters can change people's lives and their resilience to face adversity.

Another of the materials to be exhibited will be "Llueve sobre mojado", by Carlos Y. Rodríguez, a work that deals with the critical situation caused by the intense and repeated rains in the mountainous municipality of Buey Arriba, in the province of Granma.

The audiovisual cycle also includes "Las cuatro hermanas" (The Four Sisters), by Rigoberto Hernández, which narrates the life of four people in the Sierra Maestra who decide to live alone, not to get married and to take care of a farm, a family patrimony.

From the same director, "Los ecos y la niebla" will be shown, the mysticism in which only a Haitian descendant lives in the intricate mountains, surrounded by clouds and strange sounds.

Luis Guevara's "La cuchufleta" will be screened, a micro current generator created thanks to the ingenuity of a farmer, which provides electricity to several houses in the lomerío in that eastern region of Cuba.

The tribute to Televisión Serrana will conclude with the screening of Waldo Ramírez's audiovisual entitled "La chivichana", a singular transport, popular among Cuban children, whose use acquires an attractive connotation in the mountains of the Sierra Maestra. (Source:PL)
