Havana Film Festival New York 2012

Whenever Cuba makes the news it’s almost always about Fidel Castro, the crumbling economy, or the latest musician or sports player who defected. For those of us who live on this side of the trade embargo, it’s rare to hear stories from Cuba that fall outside of the socialism vs. communism trope. The Havana Film Festival New York offers a chance to see those not-often-heard stories on a big screen. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a Cuban zombie movie? Now’s your chance. The 13th annual festival will screen more than 40 films from across Latin America. Here’s a list of highlights. ¡Tírate!

And for you cheapos we are giving away three pairs of tickets to any festival screening at the Quad Cinema.
