Noida: “Not very long ago we created Indo Cuba Film and Cultural Forum. H.E. Alexandro Simancas Marine has been very kind in nominating Dr. Sandeep Marwah as the Chair for Indo Cuba Film and Cultural Forum. We made it a point to have film from Cuba for 15th Global Film Festival Noida 2022,” said Malena Rojas Media Cultural Counsellor of Cuba, Embassy of Cuba in New Delhi.
Cuba Film Industry may not be very big but it has produced some of the finest films. The purpose of the Indo Cuba Film and Cultural Forum is to promote and develop relation between the people of two countries through art and culture. Cinema speaks everything in a big way,” said Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah Studios and Chair for Indo Cuba Film and Cultural Forum.
El Mayor is undoubtedly a long-awaited film in Cuba, where Agramonte is remembered as a symbol of the struggle for independence, a legendary figure, an example of the courage of those who gave their lives in the redemptive battle fields. Based on real events from the mid-nineteenth century, the film shows the incidents and anecdotes from the intense life of the Cuban hero Ignacio Agramonte from childhood to his death.
Hemant Nitin Das producer, Director and Writer from Mumbai also spoke on cinema. Later Dr. Sandeep Marwah announced the Award of Distinction to the film El Mayor and presented to Malena Rojas Medina. The event was supported by International Chamber of Media and Entertainment Industry, Indo Cuba Film and Cultural Forum, World Peace Development and Research Foundation, Asian Unity Alliance and AAFT University.
