His intention was not to conceive a biographical story about Casal, rather a recreation of a stage of his life based on an unorthodox production for cinema in general.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"BeB2wpIOba\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cultura\/cine\/pelicula-cubana-sobre-julian-del-casal-de-estreno-en-la-habana\/\">Pel\u00edcula cubana sobre Juli\u00e1n del Casal de estreno en La Habana<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u00abPel\u00edcula cubana sobre Juli\u00e1n del Casal de estreno en La Habana\u00bb \u2014 OnCubaNews\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cultura\/cine\/pelicula-cubana-sobre-julian-del-casal-de-estreno-en-la-habana\/embed\/#?secret=m3zeGzuxxj#?secret=BeB2wpIOba\" data-secret=\"BeB2wpIOba\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special mention for the documentary <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A media voz<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (In a Whisper), winner in the Best Documentary Feature category at the recent Film Festival in the Cuban capital, a few weeks after winning the award for best work from the prestigious Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Directed by Cubans Patricia P\u00e9rez and Heidi Hass\u00e1n, the film is a co-production between Cuba, Spain, Switzerland and France, which establishes a dialogue between two shores (Spain and Switzerland) between both filmmakers, who by receiving the prize in Havana represents an important boost for Cuban independent cinema, according to Hass\u00e1n, who picked up the Coral in the Cuban capital on December 12.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IDFA 2019 | Trailer | In a Whisper\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6qCD6X9dnxQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><b>The most read about<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another of the most popular news in the field of cinema referring to the largest of the Caribbean islands was undoubtedly the nomination of Ana de Armas to the Golden Globe.
