Havana Festival Screens Experimental Films

Havana, Nov. 26. -Under the new category of Vanguard, experimental movies will be part of the 32nd International Festival of New Latin American Cinema, to be held in Havana Dec. 2-12.

Festival director Ivan Giroud told reporters that the festival needed to show films outside the usual Latin American tendencies, in an area much more experimental and provocative, hard to understand for the general audience, and outside the canons of the competition.
