Film Country Cuba – 50 Years ICAIC

In July, we would like to invite you to discover films from Cuba beyond salsa, folklore and the romanticism of ruins. The program offers an overview of 50 years of Cuban film production across all genres – it is no coincidence that this span of time corresponds with that of the revolution: Only with the law through which the revolutionaries founded the ICAIC (Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Arts and Industry) on 03/24/1959, did the history of independent Cuban cinematography commence. The name of the institution was meant as a program, the first preamble being: "Film as Art", as distinguished from film as a commodity.
