Discover the mystery of the power within the legendary tradition of

new film by MARILYN PEREZ.

In the latest film by FRANK RODRIGUEZ, ANIMAL TROPICAL IN MONTREAL,
original music by PAQUITO d RIVERA, we meet PEDRO JUAN GUTIERREZ, the
prolific and charismatic Cuban writer living in Havana. He is the
author of the international sensation, DIRTY HAVANA TRILOGY.

Come DINE, DANCE, DRINK space(cash bar), DELIGHT AND DONATE while you
enjoy previewing selections from these films which will be shown
throughout the evening.

SMOKESCREEN A CUBAN MYSTERY the film gives a wistful look upon Cuba.
By doing this, we hope that others pass through the metaphorical smoke
and reclaim our former good relations, symbolized by the cigar, lost
for almost half a century. What divides is a smokescreen. Who will
cross this divide?

ANIMAL TROPICAL IN MONTREAL is a documentary film shot in Montreal
where this controversial Cuban author is invited to visit and in
Havana, where PEDRO JUAN GUTIERREZ writes his books. Is it pornography
or is it prose and who cares and why?
