In Doha –the event’s venue- Arnaut pointed out that the island is already part of this Festival and that its presence has been a great achievement, since its representatives and works have integrated into the forum, the National Television Newscast reported.
   We don’t see Cuba as a guest, but as an important part of the Festival, he stressed.
   The Caribbean island competed with two audiovisuals by Cuban Television and the Mundo Latino production company.
   One of the materials, entitled Hemingway’s Islands, directed by Esteban Rivera,
participated in the category of feature film; while the other one (Lost Naturalist), by filmmaker Randor Menendez, competed in shorts.
   Cuba also participated as a jury in this Festival, and attending the event was a delegation of the Cuban Radio and Television Institute and the Mundo Latino production company.
   The event’s Golden Award, in feature film, went to the British movie Pink Saris, on a group of Indian women facing the myths and impositions of their culture and traditions.
   Prizes were also given in the categories of medium-length films and shorts, in addition to special prizes conferred by the Arab television network to documentaries reflecting a thorough journalist research and those tackling the issue of human rights.
