The Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC) is deploying a series of actions to bring much more than cinema to diverse audiences during these summer months.

Community activities, presentations of restored Cuban films, and an attractive program will be added to the spaces that Animados ICAIC is carrying out for children and adolescents at the La Rampa cinema, including the "Peña de Federico" gatherings.

During a press meeting earlier this week, information was also shared about three restored Cuban films participating in the Ritrovato Festival in Bologna. The feature films "El acoso" (1965) by Humberto Solás and "Siete muertes a plazo fijo" (1950) by Manuel Alonso, along with the documentary "El sueño del pongo" (1970) by Santiago Álvarez, will be screened at this event, considered one of the most important for promoting restored classic cinema.

Additionally, a Uruguayan Film Cycle will take place at the central Yara cinema in Havana's La Rampa district on July 3, 4, and 5, featuring films, documentaries, and animations to be shown in Cuba as part of the cinematographic alliances between both countries.

The summer film program activities are part of the tenth Summer Film Festival, where, according to ICAIC's expressed desire, efforts are being made to include offerings for all tastes.
