Join us for an opening reception with the filmmakers from 6:30pm–7:30pm!

Havana Skate Days is an intimate portrait of Cuba and its current struggles told through the story of Havana’s nascent skate scene. The film follows Yojany Perez, a young, talented skateboarder trying to grow extreme sports in Cuba, and his tight knit crew of skateboarders. The generational rift between Cuba’s millennials and older generations is exposed as the skaters struggle to carve a space for themselves in Cuba’s future and cope with the loss of their friends to the temptations of the outside world.

A post-film Q&A will follow the screening with Co-Directors Kristofer Ríos and Julian Moura-Busquets and subjects from the film.
