The Region’s History: the Focus of the Caribbean Documentary
Traveling Exhibition
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba, June 12 (acn) Documentaries focusing on
the history and traditions of Caribbean countries make up
the 4th edition of the Film Traveling Exhibition of that

by Arelis Marrero, a specialist with the Provincial Cinema
Center.
Likewise, the documentaries The Black Mozart in Cuba, by
director Steve Stephanie James, on Joseph Boulogne, a great
composer of classical music and a violin virtuoso; and Yo soy

Bejucal, are being shown.
The official Web site of the Traveling Exhibition refers that,
as part of it, over 30

movie theaters, and that the cycle will end in July in Havana,
from where the Exhibition will travel to other countries in the
region.
Dedicated to the Caribbean Diaspora, the Exhibition has been
visiting Cienfuegos since June 8, where it has the Luisa Movie
Theater as its main venue.
