The winter-sleep might have been strangely long, but this summer, as always, we will celebrate our love for cinema in full moonlight. Cavia’s MOONS will take place across the whole month of July on three Fridays and three Saturdays in our building’s courtyard. We will present an eclectic, vibrating, and savage array of films that run from punk destruction and illegal raves to remote beauties and little- known charms. Summery love-stories, rebelliousness, timeless encounters, and a special attention to all kinds of music.

The entrance for all the events is free but donations will be very much appreciated.

Doors and bar opens at 19.00
Films start at 21.00

LA VIDA ES SILBAR (Life is to Whistle)
Fernando Pérez | 1998 | Cuba | 100’ | EN subs

Three stories of fate, lust and fears cross each other in Havana. Elpidio struggles to get over the loss of his mother, called Cuba, while falling in love with an American biologist. Mariana is equally infatuated with ballet and sex, but has made a bargain with god to exchange her chastity for the leading role of Giselle. When she meets the stunning dancer that will accompany her, her principles begin to collapse. And Julia gets a unstoppable fit of yawning after listening to an official discourse and decides to overcome her life-long sexual frustrations.

When the USSR fell, Cuba became completely isolated, blocked by Western powers, and its economy collapsed. This film was made during those hard years but it is not the drama you may expect. It celebrates instead the magic and marvels that appear even in the worst moments to remind us of unexplored realities.
