New Cuban Film Focuses on Women´s Relations and Dreams

Havana, Cuba, Aug 14.- “Venecia” (Venice) is the title of a new film being shot in Havana these days, which proposes a reflection on the feminine transition from adolescence to adulthood, seasoned with its relevant web of interpersonal relations.

The film, by director Enrique Kiki Alvarez, does not take much distance from Cuban classics like those widely spread and welcomed by the fans of Cuban cinema, such as Guantanamera, for instance.

Based on a screenplay by Claudia Muñiz, moviemaker Alvarez brings us the story of three women, who work in a state-owned beauty parlor. On payday, they go shopping for a dress but unexpected circumstances force them share the night together as they dream of opening their own private business, which they call “Venecia.”

This has been the second movie project by professionals from different countries who met and studied at the International Film and TV School, located in the town of San Antonio de los Baños. (Radio Cadena Agramonte)
