SUMMARY:SEGURIDAD
DESCRIPTION:Jordan Ressler First Feature Award \nDirector Tamara Segura will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A.  \nThis screening is a part of the Spotlight on Cuba at Miami Film Festival\, made possible with support of ArtesMiami.  \nIn her feature documentary Seguridad\, Newfoundland-based filmmaker Tamara Segura—once named “Cuba’s youngest soldier” in a militia publicity stunt—portrays her troubled relationship with her father in the context of the Cuban Revolution.

But her father’s sudden death just days after her arrival forces Segura to explore his troubled past and the role Cuba’s highly militarized system played in his downfall. Through a series of deeply personal on-camera interviews with her immediate family\, Segura unearths long-held secrets that ultimately tell a story of resilience and profound love between family members. \n—– \nTamara Segura is a Cuban Canadian filmmaker who graduated from the International Film School of San Antonio de los Banos\, Cuba\, an acclaimed institution founded by Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez to help diversify the globe’s cinematic landscape.

SUMMARY:THE PRACTICE
DESCRIPTION:Special Presentation \nYou 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? \n—– \nMartín Rejtman was born in 1961 in Buenos Aires\, Argentina. He is a director and writer\, known for Silvia Prieto (1999)\, Cropped Head (1992) and The Magic Gloves (2003). \nSponsored by FlixLatino. \nFollow Miami Film Festival on Instagram\, Facebook and Twitter.

SUMMARY:PUAN
DESCRIPTION:Marimbas Award \nThink 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 \nwhen\, 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. \n—– \nMaría Alché studied film direction in the ENERC (National Film School) from Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, and graduated in 2010.

SUMMARY:En La Caliente - Tales of A Reggaeton Warrior
DESCRIPTION:Documentary Achievement Award \nDirector Fabien Pisani will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A. \nThis screening is a part of the Spotlight on Cuba at Miami Film Festival\, made possible with support of ArtesMiami.  \nToday\, 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. \n—– \nFabien Pisani is known for En La Caliente – Tales of A Reggaeton Warrior\, 7 Days in Havana (2011) and Juana Bacallao (2015). \nSponsored by FlixLatino and ArtesMiami.

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. \n—– \nChris Rodriguez is an Argentine-American entrepreneur and film producer\, director\, and screenwriter. He was born and raised in Miami\, Florida along with two older sisters. He graduated with degrees in film production and entrepreneurship from Emerson College\, where he co-founded R&R Film Studios as a student. He is one half of the creative duo The Ro Bros. \nGrant Rosado is a Cuban-Bosnian filmmaker born in Texas and raised around North America.

SUMMARY:La vida es un gran bolero
DESCRIPTION:“La Vida es un Gran Bolero” \nComedia en dos actos. \nLa 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. \nTula\,(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. \nToni\, (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. \nLa una da su vida por terminada. La otra no parece que va a terminar bien su vida. \n¿Qué sucede cuando estos dos seres tan dispares se encuentran y entrelazan? \n 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. \nToda 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. \nEsperamos llenar este cometido \nMarcos Casanova \nLa Vida es un Gran Bolero estará en cartelera los días 19\, 20\, 21\, 26\,27 y 28 de Abril en el Teatro Koubek Center 2705 SW 3 Street Miami\, Fl\, 33135.   Valet Parking opcional. \nEn cada show habrá un bolerista invitado. \nBoletos :  https://ticketplate.com/lavidaesungranbolero \nAsientos numerados \nInformación: 305-220-2863

FL 33135 \nA 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. \n—– \nThea Sharrock is is an English theatre and film director.

Es en este evento tendrá lugar  el 1 de Junio a las 8 PM\, a partir de este punto Adolfo marca el comienzo de una nueva etapa en su viaje artístico\, una promesa de cambios y evolución que trascienden las límites de la musica misma. Unete a el en este viaje introspectivo y descubre la belleza efímera de lo irrepetible.
