CINE POBRE is a documentary about a special film festival in a special place, the small fishing village of Gibara, in Holguin State in the east end of Cuba.
CINE POBRE is the birth of the Cine Pobre Non-Budget Film Festival, the dream of the great Cuban director Humberto Solas, who made his celebrated first feature film, LUCIA, in Gibara. Solas wanted to celebrate a cinema driven by passion and ideas, not by commercial imperatives, and he realized his dream when the First Cine Pobre happened on April 21-25, 2003, in Gibara. |
