SOME PROGRAMS BY NY HAVANA FILM FESTIVAL

New Children/New York is an intimate portrait of the struggles and perseverance of young immigrants coming of age in a rarely seen New York City. Set in a community workshop in Bushwick, a Latino immigrant and low-income neighborhood of Brooklyn, the documentary follows three young people who are studying filmmaking. Their gripping, self-exploratory films – excerpted throughout the documentary and each exhibiting a distinct voice and style – reveal the confidential perceptions of these youngsters who dramatically straddle the opposing cultures of the U.S. and their homelands. As filmmaking encourages them to reflect on their identities, their family situations and the elusiveness of the “American Dream,” the documentary poignantly portrays how these young adults are triumphing over the barriers of illegality, economic hardship, discrimination, family fracture, cultural loss and social alienation.

Want to know more? See New Children/New York’s website, trailer and blog. And watch the producer, Lauren Mucciolo, in LMEW’s video.

The godfather of Afro-Cuban music, Mario Bauza, and his fellow countrymen Machito, Chano Pozo, and Cachao were the early innovators who first showed Latin musicians how to swing and bop, and at the same time taught the great jazz artists like Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker how to play the intricate polyrhythms of Cuba. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis will explore the early breakthrough hits “Tanga” and “Manteca,” the development of the mambo and the cha-cha-cha years later, and the enduring legacy of these explosive, technicolorful musical pioneers.
