CUBA: Film Director Says Creativity There Is Dead.
LAHT/ Cuban filmmaker Pavel Giroud says government policy has killed-off the island's once vibrant film community. The director of "Omerta" and "The Silly Age" calls Cuba a film "backwater." "The way in which film-making is designed in Cuba, it’s as if the Soviet (system) had been implanted. It’s now ineffective. What was once a ferocious dinosaur is now an old dinosaur, a fossil, which is also a reflection of the country, of the situation there,” Giroud said.
