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. 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.

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:VERA AND THE PLEASURE OF OTHERS
DESCRIPTION:Jordan Ressler First Feature \nDirector Romina Tamburello and Producer Santiago King will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A. \n17-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.

Playing invisible\, Vera stays behind the closed door; her own sexual desires unfolding as she listens to other people’s pleasure. \n—– \nFederico Actis is known for Historias Breves VI (2010)\, Vera and the Pleasure of Others (2023) and Todo de ti (2001). \nRomina Tamburello is known for Vera and the Pleasure of Others (2023)\, La tabla de los sueños (2012) and La Redonda (2015). \nSponsored by Jordan Ressler Foundation\, FlixLatino\, and AIDS Healthcare Foundation. \nFollow Miami Film Festival on Instagram\, Facebook and Twitter.

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. Recently\, Tamara has co-directed Becoming Labrador (2019)\, a feature-length documentary produced by the National Film Board of Canada that screened at the Closing Night of the Reelworld Festival 2019. Her short film C Sharp and D Suspended (2018)\, one of the finalists of the CBC Short Film Face Off contest\, premiered at the East Coast Reel Gala of the FIN Festival 2018 and is available in CBC Gem. \nSponsored by ArtesMiami\, FlixLatino\, and Jordan Ressler Foundation. \nFollow Miami Film Festival on Instagram\, Facebook and Twitter.

SUMMARY:Un Homenaje a Dulce Maria Loynaz
DESCRIPTION:YO DEJO MI PALABRA\n10 de diciembre\, 1902 – 27 de abril\, 1997 \n“Yo dejo mi palabra en el aire\, sin llaves y sin velos. \nPorque ella no es un arca de codicia\, ni una mujer coqueta que\ntrata de parecer más hermosa de lo que es. \nYo dejo mi palabra en el aire\, para que todos la vean\,\nla palpen\, la estrujen o la expriman. \nNada hay en ella que no sea yo misma; pero en ceñirla como\ncilicio y no como manto pudiera estar toda mi ciencia”.\nPoema II\, Poemas sin nombre (1953) \nDULCE MARIA LOYNAZ \n\nEste evento se realizará en español. \n\nEl Koubek Center del Miami Dade College se complace en presentar “Un homenaje a Dulce María Loynaz”\, nueva y fascinante producción en honor a una colosal figura de la literatura cubana\, que combinará brillantemente su poesía con la música de dos de los principales compositores cubanos: Ernesto Lecuona y José White Laffitte. La presentación se llevará a cabo el domingo 10 de diciembre a las 3:00 p.m.\, en colaboración con la Feria del Libro de Miami. \nLoynaz\, considerada como una de las principales luminarias de la literatura cubana\, fue galardonada con más de quince distinciones literarias\, incluyendo el Premio Miguel de Cervantes en 1992\, otorgado anualmente para honrar la trayectoria de un destacado escritor de la lengua española\, y considerado como uno de los más prestigiosos de la literatura española. El tributo hará corresponder la música de Lecuona\, conocido como “El Gershwin cubano”; y la de White Lafitte\, el famoso violinista afrocubano\, con el lirismo de la poesía de Loynaz (interpretada como palabra hablada)\, creando una unión perfecta y una interpretación fascinante. \nEl público disfrutará de la composición de Lecuona Dame tus rosas\, inspirada en el poema Rosas de Loynaz; así como de La Bella Cubana de White Lafitte y del Poema CXXIV a la Isla de Cuba de la escritora\, por solo nombrar algunas de las piezas simbióticas de poesía y música que se interpretarán en la velada. \nMónica Santibáñez\, la productora ejecutiva de la presentación\, ha admirado desde hace tiempo a Loynaz\, desde que su madre\, a quien está dedicada la producción\, le diera a conocer la obra de la escritora. La locutora y narradora Viviám María López guiará al público a través del programa.

The performance will take place on Sunday\, December 10 at 3 p.m. and is presented in partnership with Miami Book Fair. \nLoynaz\, considered one of the principal figures of Cuban literature\, was the recipient of more than 15 literary awards\, including the 1992 Miguel de Cervantes Prize. The Prize is bestowed annually to honor the lifetime achievement of an outstanding writer of the Spanish language and is considered the most prestigious prize one can receive for Spanish literature. The tribute will pair her poetry with the music of Lecuona\, known as “The Cuban Gershwin\,” and White Lafitte\, the famed Afro-Cuban violinist. Together\, the lyricism of Loynaz’s poetry (performed as spoken word) and music of Lecuona and White Lafitte create a perfect union and mesmerizing performance. \nThe audience will enjoy Lecuona’s composition Dame tus rosas (Give Me Your Roses)\, which was inspired by her poem\, Rosas\, as they will White Lafitte’s composition\, La Bella Cubana (The Beautiful Cuban Woman)\, and her poem CXXIV a la Isla de Cuba (CXXIV to the Cuban Island)\, to name a few of the symbiotic poetry and music pieces that will be performed. \nExecutive Producer Mónica Santibanez is a longtime admirer of Loynaz and was introduced to her work by her mother\, to whom she dedicates this production. Narrator Viviam Maria López will guide the audience through the program. Celebrated actress Grettel Trujillo will perform the poetry reading\, and musical interpretations are by Voices of Miami Choir\, under the direction of Greisel Domínguez\, featuring soprano Laura de Mare and tenor Carlos Silva. They are accompanied on piano by Evita Garrucho. The performance is overseen by renowned artistic director Marcos Casanova. \nIllustration: Grizelle Paz

SUMMARY:DISC-COVER@Koubek
DESCRIPTION:Koubek Center is excited to announce DISC-COVER @ Koubek\, a new program that spotlights new musical releases by homegrown artists.  The Koubek will partner with local artists throughout the year by hosting concerts highlighting the exciting new music being released in our Magic City! \nPostcards is a rocking\, symphonic sophomore album from Miami-based Lemon City Trio. Nick Tannura (guitar)\, Brian Robertson (synth/keys)\, and Aaron Glueckauf (drums) bring a lot to the table. \nTannura plays lead lines with the presence of a vocalist. Robertson arranges with the touch of a film composer — he is one — broadening the instrumentation while always keeping the song laser focused on melody. Glueckauf\, meanwhile\, is a human beat machine\, the tasty backbone of everything else happening in the music. \nProgressive rock\, jazz fusion\, contemporary Saharan music\, the aforementioned hip hop and funk — the name Postcards is a reference to visiting all these musical destinations\, stopping for a spell in each and sending something back home. What makes LCT cool is their ability to go to all these disparate places and always sound like themselves in the process. \nThe album release concert will feature Brian Potts (founder Miamibloco). \nFREE PARKING
