Havana Dreams

We have about 5 minutes on the internet, so I'm quickly scrawling some of the amazing things that Lorna & I have encountered.

We just met with two amazing women - Rap artists - part of the Cuban group "Las Crudas." They are amazing artists, commited to producing their own voice and experience in their music, and it was an amazing connection.

In the meantime, we have moved from Havana Vieja to a new spot in Havana Vedado, an area closer to all the wonderful cinemas where the festival is going on. We have seen four movies so far - 3 Cuban documentaries, and one movie from Argentina. It has been wonderful to be around people talking about movies, loving the stories. The audiences here are incredibly enthusiastic and love talking about movies. Lorna & I could not feel more at home. The only problem is we still are struggling with Spanish - but HEY.

We've got great stories, lots of stories, videos, and photos, and look forward to sharing them when we get back.
