is
pleased to present the documentary:
Havana: The New Art of Making

An award-winning documentary by

An indelible portrait of the city of
Havana, an architectural landmark. A searing view of its inhabited ruins and
their strange blend of magic and demolition. The film captures the final
moments of these buildings before they are renovated or simply collapse
altogether.
The New Art of Making Ruins was
pre-nominated for the 2007 German Academy Award and has won the Bavarian Film
Award, the Tribeca Film Festival Audience Award, and the Special Jury Award at
the 2006 LA Latino International Film Festival, among several other prestigious
awards.
Following the 86-minute documentary
there will be an open panel discussion with the film’s director
Florian Borchmeyer
and
Cuban architect
Manuel Castedo
