Join us for an engaging conversation with two internationally acclaimed filmmakers whose work explores Cuba's history, internationalism, and cultural identity through the power of documentary storytelling.
The panel features Souleyman Garcia, a London-based filmmaker, photographer, and creative producer whose work centers on stories of identity, culture, community, and social justice. His recent documentary, The Bigger Picture, examines Cuba through the lived experiences of its people, offering a nuanced perspective on the island's history, resilience, and everyday realities. Through documentary filmmaking and visual storytelling, Garcia amplifies underrepresented voices and uses film as a tool for education, dialogue, and social change.
Joining him is Negash Abdurahman, the award-winning Ethiopian-American filmmaker behind Cuba in Africa. His documentary chronicles the extraordinary story of more than 380,000 Cuban volunteers—soldiers, teachers, doctors, and nurses—who supported the liberation struggles in Angola and Namibia, contributing to the defeat of apartheid in Southern Africa. The film has received international acclaim, including the Thomas Sankara Prize at FESPACO and the Best Short Documentary Award at the Pan African Film & Arts Festival.
Together, these filmmakers will discuss how documentary cinema can preserve historical memory, challenge dominant narratives, and build bridges of international solidarity.
From Cuba's role in African liberation movements to contemporary stories of life on the island, this conversation will explore the responsibility of filmmakers to tell stories that inspire critical thinking, amplify marginalized voices, and deepen our understanding of Cuba's place in the world.
