“I am pleased to send a message of support to this festival to celebrate Cuban film. 

In these dark times we must recognise the importance of Cuban cinema.  The USA has tried every method to destroy the independence of Cuba, and as their politics swing dangerously to the right, we need to show our support for the Cubans now more than ever.  And we know there will be some brilliant films to enjoy!

Solidarity with Cuba.”
