Cuban documentary Landrian to be present at Venice Film Festival

Havana, Jul 31 (Prensa Latina) The documentary Landrian by Cuban filmmaker Ernesto Daranas will be present at the Venice International Film Festival, as announced on Monday by the Cuban Institute of Art and Cinematographic Industries (ICAIC).

The work, one of those selected for the 80th edition of the prestigious Italian festival, is a tribute to Cuban filmmaker Nicolas Guillen Landrian (1938-2003), a renowned avant-garde figure in Cuban cinema.

With Landrian a paradox arises, he is one of the filmmakers less known by the Cuban public; however, he is one of the most written about, which is of great academic interest, Daranas explained in a meeting with the press on Monday.

“Landrian” documentary makes the most honest possible approach to this complex and controversial creator about whom there are so many opinions, added Roberto Smith, deputy chairman of ICAIC. pll/omr/rgh/vnl
