Animation in Love Season: Chico and Rita + 20 Años
A pair of animated films filled with passion, music and romance, presented in partnership with Screen Cuba.
An animated love story that plays out like a Latin ballad, the Oscar-nominated Chico & Rita follows a jazz pianist and a singer through the decades from Havana to New York to Paris and beyond, in a luscious and bittersweet tale of romance and heartbreak.
This screening will be preceded by a rare opportunity to see a gem of Cuban stop-motion animation: Bárbaro Joel Ortiz’ plaintive evocation of faded love, 20 Años (20 Years).
