Suite Habana (Cuba, 2003, 80 min., 35mm)
Dir: Fernando Pérez.
A poetic homage to the city of Havana, this breathtaking film portrays a 24-hour period of life in Cuba's capital. The film follows ten ordinary Habaneros as they go about their day. The multiplicity of images and sounds weave a unique and intimate picture of a city full of contradictions and contrasts, a city of accomplished and frustrated dreams. Edited like a musical composition, Suite Habana oscillates between documentary and fiction. “A lyrical, meticulously-crafted homage to the battered but resilient inhabitants of a battered but resilient city..." — Variety
