Upcoming Events

The award winning documentary, SONS OF CUBA will screen at The Electric Cinema in Birmingham on the 30th March and the 1st April (http://www.theelectric.co.uk/booking/index.php?film=136#film_136). 
 
SONS OF CUBA follows the stories of three young hopefuls through 8 dramatic months of training and education as they prepare for the biggest event of their lives so far: Cuba’s National Boxing Championship for Under-12s. But during the season, crisis strikes: Fidel Castro is taken ill and all of Cuba’s Olympic boxing champions defect to the USA. As the championship draws closer, the Cuba that the boys have been taught to believe in is at an historic crossroads.
 
As well as being nominated for a British Independent Film Award, SONS OF CUBA was the opening night film at last year’s Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in the US and has since gone on to win “Best Documentary” at the Rome International Film Festival, the “Youth Jury Award” at Sheffield Doc/Fest, and was awarded “Best Film on Latin American by a non-Latin American” at the recent Havana Film Festival, as well as picking up “Best Documentary” by the Foundation of New Latin American Cinema.
 
It’s been described in the press as:
“Extraordinary” and “a must see” BBC
“A spectacle of yearning and heartbreak” The Guardian
"Affecting & entertaining. It has all the makings of an arthouse hit" Hollywood Reporter
“A gem of a picture" Empire
“As moving and insightful a film as you'll see this year" The Telegraph
“Beautifully structured story of sacrifice, companionship, grief and glory" Time Out
"A truly top notch documentary" Eye for Film
