Paris, who directed Cuban film Kangamba, said he was proud to receive the award at times when more than 600 thousand people around the Island have seen its film, epic tribute to the bravery of Cuban-Angolan soldiers in Africa.

The ceremony held at the headquarters of the UNEAC became a gathering attended by leading actors and the staff who exchanged experiences on the filming process in eastern Cuba.

Leading actor Rafael Lahera said that Kangamba is a worthy tribute to Cuban internationalist soldiers and to the people of Cuba.
