Cuban Film from Havana Film Festival to Reach Theaters

The Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (Icaic) announced today during a press conference the theatrical release of the film 5 historias de amor y un bolerón desesperado, scheduled for the 29th of this month.

The presentation included the participation of Alexis Triana, president of Icaic; the film’s director, Arturo Santana; casting director Yaremis Pérez; and actors Ariadna Sadé and Andros Perugorría, who shared their experiences during the creative process.

Perugorría described the experience as “marvelous” and expressed his anticipation for the reception by Cuban audiences following the film’s international circulation, Icaic stated on social media.

In turn, Sadé recalled the emotion of her first foray into cinema and her hope that local viewers would experience that same intensity.

Pérez highlighted the richness of working alongside Santana, marked by a distinct style and the backing of a solid production, the post added.

The director, for his part, emphasized that the work constitutes a tribute to resilience, recalling that “in difficult times, love always saves us.”

During the meeting, producer Reymel Delgado added that it was a one hundred percent Cuban production effort, articulated with independent production companies and national talent, demonstrating the strength of homegrown cinema.
