Yesterday Cuba, Libre? became a film festival or award competition Official Selection for the 34th time.

Today that number jumped to 35 times when it was picked by the Hollywood Forever Film Festival.

The documentary also received a Platinum Award for second place in festival’s “Best Documentary Short” category.

The Canada Independent Film Festival, which will take place in Montreal on February 16, 2019, has selected eight documentary films, including Cuba, Libre?, to compete for its “Best Documentary” award, a separate category from “Best Canadian Documentary” which includes eight additional nominated films from that country.

This marks the 34th time that Cuba, Libre? has been made an “Official Selection” by a film festival or film award competition.

CIFF is one of the “Top 100 Best Reviewed Festivals” on FilmFreeway, one of two online services used by film festivals to solicit submissions by filmmakers.

 

For the thirty-third time since its January, 2016 release, Cuba, Libre? has become a film festival Official Selection.

It is also the seventh time the film has received a “Best Documentary” nomination.
