Jointly presented with Havana, Cuba's International Festival of New
Latin American Cinema, the Havana Film Festival New York is
close, but no cigar. Subways and skyscrapers just can't match that fallen
Habanero elegance as a habitat for Latino cinema. But if Cuba isn't on your
itinerary and Manhattan is, you could do worse than to savor a
week of Big Apple screenings from and about Latin America and
the Caribbean, and about Latinos in the U.S.

The 20th Anniversary Cinequest...

To really appreciate a documentary, it is important...
