Over 160 films from 30 countries will compete at the 8th Humberto Solas Low-Budget International Film Festival to run from April 19 to 25 in Gibara, Holguin.

This 8th Festival, with venue at several eastern Cuban provinces, will honor producer Nelson Rodriguez, the 2007 National Film Prize, while Havana will run previous prize winning films.

Seventy films split into seven genres will concentrate the race: fiction films, feature-length and short-films, documentaries, art videos and experimental films, new and unedited scripts.

Contenders from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, France, Germany and Cuba, will animate this film fest under the guide of a 12-member jury of producers, critics, essayists and writers.

Among the parallel events lie the photo display Fishara Goal with 20 pictures on a unique, first festival held into a refugee camp, ie., the Sahara Film Festival.

Other topics on debate are film drama and children in the big screen, theater, painting, dance and literature.

The goal, says the organizing committee, is promoting low-budget films with subjects and styles divorced from the path chosen by major distributors, with a rather humanitarian and aesthetic approach.
