Director Romina Tamburello and Producer Santiago King will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A.
17-year-old Vera divides her days between volleyball, school, and a secret hobby: she rents out an empty apartment to teenagers looking for a place to have sex. She steals the keys from her distracted mother, who manages different properties, and organises everything. The teenagers come and go, using the apartment for a few uninterrupted hours. Playing invisible, Vera stays behind the closed door; her own sexual desires unfolding as she listens to other people’s pleasure.

THE PRACTICE

Special Presentation
You can’t always om your way out of life. Such is the lesson of this funny, philosophical film from Argentinian writer/director Martín Rejtman about a man named Gustavo (Esteban Bigliardi) who has devoted his life to zen, but is nonetheless served up chaos by the universe and its human minions: His wife and fellow yoga teacher Vanessa (Manuela Oyarzun) leaves him but keeps their apartment. He injures his knee, robbing him of his usual yogic practice. A revitalizing trip to India is canceled. He’s homeless. Everything is downward facing, heavy on the dog. Could it be, however, that these trials and tribulations are here to teach Gustavo the true meaning of surrender and transcendence?

Marimbas Award
Think an ordinary existential midlife crisis is hard? Try having one as an aging philosophy professor! Such is the burden Marcelo (Marcelo Subiotto) must carry in Puan
when, after a lifetime of teaching philosophy at the Public University of Buenos Aires, his mentor dies unexpectedly. Though Marcelo believes his ascension to department chair is a formality, an unexpected rival in the form of the charismatic and seductive Rafael (Leonardo Sbaraglia) arrives from the European universities to challenge him. Suddenly Marcelo has more to worry about than his receding hairline and growing paunch—he’s at risk of losing his very identity. As Marcelo clumsily attempts to win the ensuing absurdist philosophical duel, his life—and country—spiral into chaos.

This screening is a part of the Spotlight on Cuba at Miami Film Festival, made possible with support of ArtesMiami.
Nicolás Guillén Landrián was one of the most pioneering Cuban filmmakers in the 60s and 70s. However, his work was subject to censorship, and he was condemned to ostracism. His imprisonment and the involuntary psychiatric detentions which ruled his life marked an awful fate shared by his own films, which were kept away from the audience and from critics for decades. It was not until 2022 that part of the documentaries of Nicolás Guillén Landrián started to be restored. In the midst of this process, his widow, Gretel Alfonso, and the photographer Livio Delgado looked back on different episodes
Also screening separately is a retrospective series of his documentary shorts, titled Nicolás Landrián Retrospective Shorts.

Director Tommaso Santambrogio will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A.
This screening is a part of the Spotlight on Cuba at Miami Film Festival, made possible with support of ArtesMiami.
Italian-born director Tommaso Santambrogio opens a poignant new window into the allure, tragedy, hope, and human cost of exile from Cuba sixty-five years after the communist revolution. Shot in elegant, highly stylized black and white and focused on the frozen-in-time Cuban town of San Antonio De Los Baños, a series of stories unfold: Alex (Alexander Diego) and Edith (Edith Ibarra), young artists in love, perfect for each other—except, perhaps, in their plans for the future. An elderly peanut peddler (Milagros Llanes Martinez) revisiting the past through decades-old letters from her dead husband. A pair of little leaguers with New York Yankee dreams. All face the specter of separation while navigating a world they did not create.

Tommaso Santambrogio was born in 1992 in Italy. He lived and studied between Milan, Paris, Roma and La Havana and he worked with several international acclaimed directors, like Werner Herzog and Lav Diaz.

This screening is a part of the Spotlight on Cuba at Miami Film Festival, made possible with support of ArtesMiami.
Today, reggaeton is the most popular genre of music among Latinos in Latin America and the United States. Sixty years after Mambo and Cha Cha Cha, and forty years after Salsa, reggaeton reigns as a world-wide symbol of Latino pop culture and as one of the strongest urban cultural trends. In Cuba, a historical hub of Latin music, the reggaeton movement is extremely powerful. However, it’s almost impossible to find reggaeton in record stores, or to hear it on the radio or television. En La Caliente tells the story of how reguetón has become the megaphone of an emerging Cuba against the official discourse.

Made in MIA Feature Award
Directors Chris Rodriguez & Grant Rosado will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A.
You’ve heard of moms who gain the superhuman strength necessary in a crisis to lift cars off their trapped children? Puffing Iron is sort of like that, only with stoners and making rent. Set during a hot summer in Little Havana, Jamie (Elijah Moseley) and Ace (Bryan Serra) blissfully float through life eating ice cream, watching movies, and smoking weed—until an eviction notice appears. The good news? A fourth place finish in their local gym’s powerlifting competition would cover the housing short…and maybe another eighth. The bad? Their guns are currently more like spitball straws. What begins as a semi-harebrained lark, however, soon becomes more transformative, physically and otherwise. Somewhere along the road from puff to buff lies transcendence.

After becoming pregnant from a one-night stand, Eden leans on her married best friend and mother of two, Dawn, to guide her through gestation and beyond, in Pamela Adlon’s feature directorial debut. Adlon is best known for creating and staring in the long-running FX show Better Things. Starring and co-written by Ilana Glazer, who is best known for her work on the show Broad City (which she co-created), Glazer brings her signature and wholly unique brand of comedy to Babes. Crude, crass, and unapologetically feminist, Babes is both a laugh-out-loud romp and truly touching story about friendship and impending motherhood.

La vida es un gran bolero
2024-04-19 - 2024-04-28 | Koubek Center Theater, 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
“La Vida es un Gran Bolero”
Comedia en dos actos.
La palabra griega metanoia es frecuentemente traducida en la tradición judea-cristiana como arrepentimiento, pero su traducción más fiel es cambio de mente, de corazón, o, si queremos, cambio de rumbo. Y de eso se trata esta comedia. Cambio de rumbos.
Tula,(Noris Joffre) bolerista retirada, ya nada espera de la vida. El club nocturno, del cual es dueña, ha estado cerrado por muchos años y, como ella misma, sufre el deterioro del abandono y la falta de propósito.
Toni, (Yani Martin) que aspira a ser cantante, es una joven que comienza su vida dando malos pasos y que se ve obligada a sobrevivir en un ambiente que hasta el momento le ha sido adverso y hostil.
La una da su vida por terminada. La otra no parece que va a terminar bien su vida.
¿Qué sucede cuando estos dos seres tan dispares se encuentran y entrelazan?
Creemos firmemente que nunca es tarde para comenzar o recomenzar, que el ser humano es básicamente bueno y que la bondad y el amor siempre florecen y triunfan cuando se les brinda la oportunidad, pero que, paradójicamente, es al mismo tiempo nuestra decisión el rumbo que elegimos.
Toda comedia, por disparatada que sea, encierra un drama humano el cual lo escenificamos de forma que nos provoca la risa, como sucede en La vida es un Gran Bolero, pero no por eso está excusada de trasmitirnos un mensaje que nos haga reflexionar en mayor o menor grado.
Esperamos llenar este cometido

Location: The Theater at Koubek Memorial Center, 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami. FL 33135
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark and absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, Wicked Little Letters follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foulmouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.

The Padilla Affair
Havana, spring 1971: The poet Heberto Padilla has just been set free and appears before the Cuban Writers’ Union where he pronounces a statement of “heartfelt self-criticism”, declares himself to be a counterrevolutionary agent and throws accusations of complicity at many of his colleagues present at the event, among them, his wife. A month previously, his arrest under the accusation of endangering the security of the Cuban state had mobilised prominent intellectuals all over the world, who wrote a letter to Fidel Castro calling for the release of the poet, whose only sin had been to dissent through his poetic work. The writer’s mea culpa, the recording of which is shown for the first time to the public, marks the narrative line of a story including the testimonies of Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jorge Edwards and Fidel Castro.

Sinopsis “Mephisto”
Helena es una chica que vive en un pueblo de los Estados Unidos, alejada de los suburbios. Tras sufrir el asesinato de sus padres, Helena navega entre visiones, el luto, y los sueños. En soledad, Helena revive episodios de su pasado que la hacen reflexionar sobre la perdida, el tiempo, la violencia social, y la desaparición de personas que parece, fueron olvidados. Tras un encuentro con el asesino de sus padres, Helena tendrá que huir de su lugar de origen, abandonando todo lo que conocía, esto la hará seguir el rastro de una mujer asesinada, que busca en helena una conexión que las haga liberarse a ambas. Con la ayuda de una anciana indígena, y el encuentro con maestros espirituales que guiaran su camino, Helena llega a una tierra llena de símbolos, rituales, y misticismo. Una tierra que aunque desconoce, ha sentido como suya desde siempre. Ahí comienza un camino hacia la exoneración del dolor que la habita. Lo que comienza como un thriller psicológico, va mutando a una pieza dramática intimista, sobre la vida y la muerte, el pasado y las heridas, la percepción de otras realidades que se ignoran, el destino y la redención.
