Fernando Pérez, director of Suite Habana and La vida es silbar will compete with ¨Madrigal¨, a film in which he expresses once again his talent and formal and aesthetical views as well as his capacity for assuming artistic challenges.

The veteran Manuel Pérez is to compete with ¨Páginas del diario de Mauricio¨ (¨Pages from Mauricios diary¨), which deals very smartly with the difficult 1990s, when Cuban economy had problems.

The novel Pavel Giroud will compete with ¨La edad de la peseta¨ (¨That awkward age¨), which has been awarded in the festival of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, last March.
