Synopsis
It’s been making a comeback since the global pandemic wreaked havoc on movie screenings in actual indoor theaters. In Key West, though, you can’t have just a drive-in. Down here, you have a boat-in.
Includes an in-person Q&A with the director and cast members.
The screening will be preceded by the short feature Waterproof, from Academy Award-winning documentarian Ross Kauffman, which explores one community’s crusade to create a safe swimming environment in East Hampton, New York, where heroic lifeguards are on the case.
On June 25th 2019 the flagship of the Conch Republic Schooner Wolf, set sail from Key West to the communist island of Cuba. On board are a dozen artists and scientists participating in an inaugural “Peace Mission” voyage. No one knows it at the time but the Trump administration would soon ban any similar trips, while the crew members are still in Cuba.
“Cuba Reframed” follows the storylines of the crew members aboard schooner Wolf as they each bring a unique set of talents to share with the Cuban people. We also delve into the history of the country and get a unique perspective from a local historian. In the end we sail away with a new appreciation for the Cuban people and some of the environmental regulations the country has employed. We also discover that the power of connection is far stronger than the politics which have kept our two countries separated for the past sixty years!
