Havana, May 5 (Prensa Latina) The feature films "The outsider" and "Mustang" are screened today at the movie theater Yara in Havana, as part of the 19th French Film Festival in Cuba.
"Mustang", nominated this year to the Oscar and Golden Globe Awards for best foreign film, shows its director Deniz Gamze ErgüyenÂ�s interest in stressing the role of women in Turkey, taking into account her own experiences in a story that was supported by producers from her country, as well as Germany and Qatar.
"The outsider" tells the real story of a financial scandal triggered by French businessperson Jerôme Kerviel, known also as "the winner" and "the money-maker machine".
This film was screened in Havana last Friday at the opening ceremony of the 19th French Film Festival in Cuba.
The exhibition Buena Vista, by French photographer and painter Jean-Michel Marchetti, was opened today with pictures taken in household chores to members of the Buena Vista Social Club before achieving fame.
