SUMMARY:COPA 71
DESCRIPTION:Special Presentation \nIt is August 1971. Football teams from England\, Argentina\, Mexico\, France\, Denmark and Italy are gathering at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium.

And it’s likely you’ve never even heard of it. This is Copa 71\, the unofficial Women’s World Cup. This event has been entirely written out of history. Until now. \n—– \nJames Erskine is a British screenwriter\, film director and producer.

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. When Segura accepts a scholarship to study film in Canada\, the move offers crucial distance from her alcoholic father. After four years\, she returns to Cuba hoping to make amends. 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. Segura’s films have been awarded film prizes in Spain\, Cuban Canana and Mexico.

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. That internationally prestigious school admits only ten students per field each year. \nBenjamín Naishtat was born in 1986 in Buenos Aires\, Federal District\, Argentina.

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.

In the midst of this process\, his widow\, Gretel Alfonso\, and the photographer Livio Delgado looked back on different episodes \nAlso screening separately is a retrospective series of his documentary shorts\, titled Nicolás Landrián Retrospective Shorts. \n—– \nErnesto Daranas Serrano is a multi-award winning Cuban filmmaker.

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.

SUMMARY:PUFFING IRON
DESCRIPTION:Made in MIA Feature Award \nDirectors Chris Rodriguez & Grant Rosado will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A. \nYou’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.
