Cuba, Libre? has recently been submitted to two additional film festivals:
Save the date! “Cuba, Libre?” will be featured on FCC Free Radio’s “Lillycat on Stuff” show from noon to 2 pm on Sunday, July 17th!
Filmmaker, Dick Jordan, and travel writers featured in the film will join host, Melinda Adams, for two hours of talk about Cuba and Dick’s documentary film.
Within two weeks I will know if Cuba, Libre? will be screened at the Santa Monica International Film Festival to be held in Santa Monica, California on July 23rd.
The documentary about the history of travel to Cuba by Americans from the early decades of the 20th century to the present remains under consideration at these additional film festivals to be held during 2016:
Craving Cuba, an award-winning documentary film by San Francisco Bay Area producer, Zuzy Martin Lynch, is under consideration at several 2016 film festivals.
Here’s the trailer.
With luck, you’ll be able to see it at one of these festivals: Mill Valley Film Festival, Napa Valley Film Festival, New Orleans Film Festival, DOCUTAH, Golden Door International Film Festival of Jersey City, Lone Star Film Festival, Boston Latino International Film Festival.
On Thursday, August 4, 2016, from 6:00 pm- 7:30 pm “Cuba, Libre?” will be screened in the Koret Auditorium on the lower level of the Main Branch of the San Francisco Public Library at 100 Larkin Street near City Hall.
Filmmaker, Dick Jordan, and travel writers who appear in the film, will be present to answer questions following the screening.
Cuba, Libre? will be screened tomorrow, Friday, April 29th, at the 2016 Visual Radio Network Festival, in Oakland, California.
Here’s what you need to know about the event.
The VRN festival is somewhat more informal than other similar events. Some films will be shown outdoors, “drive-in” style, others will be screened indoors at OurTV, 7801 Edgewater Drive, Suite 3000, in Oakland, west of I-880 and east of the Oakland International Airport.
The festival is supposed to kick off at 6:00 p.m. and may run until midnight or later. The festival has not posted a screening schedule online, but I’ve been told that they hope to show Cuba, Libre? indoors around 7:00 or 8:00 p.m.
Admission is free. Beer, wine, popcorn and candy will be available for purchase.
Filmmaker, Dick Jordan, discussed Cuba, Libre? today with Tom Wilmer, host of the award-winning NPR podcast, “Journeys of Discovery with Tom Wilmer.”
You can listen to part one of Dick’s two-part conversation with Tom here.
Cuba, Libre? has been chosen as an Official Selection of the 2016 Visual Radio Network Festival.
It and other films will be screened beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, April 29th, 2016, in the theater of Where Media Meets Studios, located in the Oakland International Airport Business Center, 8393 Capwell Drive, Oakland, California 94621.

U.S. President Barack Obama is off on a three-day state visit to Cuba.
But he is merely following in the footsteps of large numbers of Americans who have traveled to that Caribbean island nation during the past year, as highlighted in this AFP TV video.
To understand why such pent-up interest in visiting Cuba exists, the importance of Obama’s visit, and what he’ll see while there, watch our feature-length documentary film.
“Cuba, Libre?” remains under consideration for screening at eleven of the dozen Western U.S. film festivals to which it has been submitted.
