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. 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.
