Frech
France
A group of strangers, all descendants of a woman named Adèle Meunier, are gathered in Normandy, France. The town would like to purchase her long-abandoned property, and four “cousins” are tasked with overseeing the transaction. Thus begins a genealogical journey into the past, taking us to 1895 Paris, with the City of Light on the brink of an industrial and cultural revolution.
Colors of Time literally plunges us into a moment in time when Parisian creativity is at its apex, creating a spark that’s about to erupt into a movement far beyond anyone’s expectations. Cédric Klapisch‘s endearing new comedy is nothing less than a soul-stirring, time-traveling – and at times, hallucinogenic – trip for lovers of the arts everywhere.

Argentina/Italy
Homo Argentum is Argentina’s biggest silver screen success in years and has become a national sensation. The film is a collection of vignettes, with a portrayal of 16 very different characters who reflect the flaws of urban life, with a perspective full of humor and irony.
Guillermo Francella stars in all of them, delivering stellar performances that often make him unrecognizable from one character to the next. The result is a fierce and hilarious satire that, between laughs, invites audiences to reflect on identity, idiosyncrasy, customs, and human behavior, explored through connection to themes such as love, friendship, family, and work.

Miami is a city undergoing a profound cultural renaissance, yet its literary history often remains in the shadows. Poetry City follows Oscar Fuentes – known to many as “The Biscayne Poet” – and Nicole Tallman, Miami-Dade County’s poetry ambassador, as they lead a collective of writers on a quest to rediscover the voices of Miami’s past. Featuring appearances from literary giants like Richard Blanco and Mitchell Kaplan, Poetry Citydemonstrates how the county’s commitment to the arts has fueled South Florida’s international ascent.
The journey reaches a powerful climax at Miami Book Fair, where the poets stage a theatrical presentation pairing historical works with their own contemporary responses, proving that Miami’s heartbeat is, and always has been, pure poetry.

Two Islands 2026
2027-05-16 19:00
The concept for the Two Islands project as a show was primarily envisioned by the executive producer, Melissa Messulam. She initially conceived it as a captivating musical showcase focused on celebrating the rich cultural exchange between Aboriginal Australian and Afro-Cuban artists. This idea sparked a series of discussions before its introduction to the National Endowment for the Arts as part of the Artworks and Miami Dade County’s International Cultural Partnership Grants. Key questions emerged: How could two diverse cultures, separated by vast oceans and thousands of miles, find commonalities? What shared experiences could serve as a foundation for fostering deeper exploration and understanding between them?
The inspiration for the documentary—produced by the Koubek Center—emerged from a desire to illuminate the rich talents of these artists as they embarked on a journey of cultural collaboration. The vision of the film director was to construct a narrative that approached both cultures with the utmost dignity and respect. This meant intertwining the unique and distinct histories of the artists involved, showcasing the lush tapestry of their artistic expressions. By focusing on their journeys, the documentary aims to resonate with audiences through universal themes such as identity, heritage, and the transformative power of art in forging meaningful connections across cultural divides.
The film meticulously explores the core elements inherent to Aboriginal Australian and Afro-Cuban cultures, delving into their music, dance, visual arts, and storytelling traditions. It emphasizes how these expressive art forms serve as crucial mediums for cultural expression, transcending the significant geographical distance that separates the two communities. Through intimate interviews, the artists provide invaluable insights into their creative processes, the significance of their cultural backgrounds, and the common threads they unearthed during their collaboration.
The dialogue between two Afro-Cuban and three Indigenous Australian artists reveals rich, universal themes surrounding cultural heritage, identity, and the critical importance of preserving traditions across generations. Both groups convey a powerful message about the necessity of imparting knowledge and practices to future generations, fostering a profound sense of belonging and continuity. This cultural exchange not only enhances the artistic landscape but also underscores the shared experiences faced by marginalized communities as they strive for recognition and understanding.
Ultimately, Two Islands serves as a poignant reminder that, despite the vast distances that physically separate them, Aboriginal Australian and Cuban cultures share fundamental human experiences capable of uniting people. Through the dynamic lens of art, this documentary embraces the beauty of collaboration and the potential for meaningful cultural dialogue to bridge divides. It invites viewers to reflect on their connections to culture and creativity, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the rich tapestry of human experiences that weave us all together.
