HAVANA, CUBA.- The 3rd Caribbean Cinema Travelling Exhibition will be inaugurated on July 15 at Havana’s Chaplin Hall, according to information provided by The Cuban Film Institute in this capital.

 A total of 54 films from 31 countries will be screened, including a special segment dedicated to childhood and adolescence, with six animation productions.

Haiti, now recovering from the devastating January 12 earthquake, will be represented by a short, entitled Mujer, by director Jean Jean.

 Titles from Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia and the Dominican Republic, among other nations will also be shown, with translations into the official languages of the project (Spanish, English, French and Haitian Creole).

The International Forum “Mercado de Cine del Caribe y otras alternativas de Exhibición”, which will be chaired by filmmaker Rigoberto Lopez, president of the Exhibition, will also take place simultaneously.

 The event is aimed at reflecting on problems of the commercial circulation of audiovisual productions in the region.

Moviegoers will be able to enjoy these productions in Havana until July 22, which will then be exhibited in other parts of the island.
