Forbidden Cuba (Friday Screening)
Synopsis: An American businessman travels to Cuba to find an executive gone rogue, and finds his eyes opened to the beauty and vibrant culture of Cuba, challenging his corporate directives, his identity and everything he has known. Without permits, permission or a Plan B, we filmed Forbidden Cuba guerilla-style across the island to help bridge cultures and reveal a nation on the verge of dramatic change. Our film is the first American feature made in Cuba since the revolution of 1959.
Director: Art Jones heads Great Jones Productions in New York, and as director/producer, fuses filmmaking with community-building to spark social action. His narrative films, "Dodgeball," "Going Nomad" and "Lustre" played on HBO, PBS and in theaters, parking lots and bare-bulb basements across America. His documentary, "The Blood in this Town" traveled to all 50 states, sharing revitalization know-how with struggling small towns and cities. Art graduated from Brown, lives in Brooklyn and serves as Adjunct Professor of Film at Hunter College. Hes been nominated for Film Independent's John Cassavetes Award and does all stunts without a net.
