Hi, Johanna, If the professor would like to include non-fiction documentaries, Bullfrog Films offers several titles related to Cuban Studies.
UNFINISHED SPACES (DVD, 86 and 58 min, SDH captions in English, Spanish subtitles) http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/unsp.html In 1961, three young, visionary architects were commissioned by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara to create Cuba's National Art Schools on the grounds of a former golf course in Havana, Cuba. Construction of their radical designs began immediately and the school's first classes soon followed. Dancers, musicians and artists from all over the country reveled in the beauty of the schools, but as the dream of the Revolution quickly became a reality, construction was abruptly halted and the architects and their designs were deemed irrelevant in the prevailing political climate. Forty years later the schools are in use, but remain unfinished and decaying. Castro has invited the exiled architects back to finish their unrealized dream. CUBA: The Acccidental Revolution (DVD, 2 part series x 45 min, Closed Captioned) http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/cubas.html Two-part series examining Cuba's enormous experiment in sustainable development in the face of an economic crisis brought on by the collapse of the Soviet Union. Streaming licenses are available for these titles. Please call.

Has anyone ever ordered from a site called Kimbara Cine Cubano: http://www.cinematecacubana.com/Scripts/default.asp. I have found some references to it in WorldCat, so it seems that at least some libraries have used it, and I'm curious to hear about your experiences. Thanks!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
