The Mostra di Venezia—the Venice International Film Festival—is the world’s oldest film festival and one of the most prestigious. Tickets for the festival are available online at La Biennale di Venezia. One of the few films by Caribbean filmmakers [perhaps the only one, as far as I can see] is Norheimsund, a 12-minute short film in Spanish (with Italian and English subtitles) by Cuban director Ana A. Alpízar. In the contemporary Cuban cinema scene, few figures stand out with such force and originality as Ana A. Alpízar. Her short film El pescador premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, while The Premiere won an award at the China Women’s Film Festival.
