"FUNDING THE ARTS IN CUBA" (2001):
A 57 minutes program directed by Cecilia
Domeyko and supported by grants from the Ford Foundation and the Miranda
Foundation of Mexico, this beautifully shot one-hour educational program in
Spanish outlines how people can set up foundations and non-profit
organizations to support the arts. Filled with a tremendous range of art --
Cuban street music, an all-woman orchestra performing new Cuban compositions
in a beautiful basilica, sculptors, ceramacists, painters, classical and
modern dancers, this lively program was shot under the most difficult
circumstances, yet is emerging not only as a wonderful guide to funding the
arts, but a work of art in its own right.
