8:30 PM EL BENNY
"Bio-Pic" by Jorge Luis Sánchez (Cuba, 2006, 132min) - dedicated to
Bartolomé (Benny) Moré, famous Cuban singer and composer, who has witnessed
the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista and the first years of the Cuban
Revolution.
* SATURDAY, 28th
6.30 PM MEMORIAS DEL SUBDESARROLLO (INCONSOLABLE MEMORIES)
Beautiful and poetic black and white film by Tomas G. Alea (1968, 85min):
Sergio, a wealthy bourgeois aspiring writer, decides to stay in Cuba even
though his wife and friends flee to Miami. Sergio looks back over the
changes in Cuba from the Castro revolution to the Cuban missile crisis, the
effect of living in an underdeveloped country.
8.30 PM SWIMMING AGAINST THE TIDE
Currently some 30,000 Cuban doctors are providing high-quality care in over
70, mainly poor, countries. Cuban medical teams were among the first to
respond to Pakistan's 2005 earthquake – and the few to stick around after
the snows came. Thoroughly researched and with heart-warming personal
accounts, Tom Fawthrop's Swimming Against the Tide (2007, 45min) is an
inspiration; a timely reminder of what public health is meant to be all
about. Essential viewing for healthcare professionals – and users – anywhere
in the world.
************************************
SUN, 01/03, 6.30 PM BUDDHA'S LOST CHILDREN
A Thai Buddhist monk – armed only with his faith and master boxing skills –
wages an inspirational battle to help orphaned children, fight drug abuse
and preserve a vanishing way of life. Plus THE CROSS AND THE BODDHI TREE:
Spiritual journeys of a French Catholic priest in Cambodia and an English
Anglican nun in Oxford as they explore and encounter the practices of
Buddhism.
