Portraits on the Malecón

---

Portraits on the Malecón is a travel diary documentary that explores Cuban civic architecture through the relationships between the filmmaker and his Havana subjects - a poet, a historian and three teen boys. Using a  nostalgic 16mm camera, they make cinematic portraits of the malecón of  Havana, and with each other. This 7 kilometer long wall that faces the ocean is an urban sofa where everything one does on a sofa is done in public, beside the sea, beneath the sky, in the open air. (TRT 51:34)
