Yet many Canadians' perceptions of what is Cuba is linked to stereotypes related to the commercial tourist industry.CineCuba strives to open the window to Canadians to see the real Cuba. ICAIC (the Cuban film commission) was the first ministry established post revolution, and when one sees Cuban film, a long standing commitment to arts and culture is evident..... CineCuba is committed to helping Canadians understand just why they are drawn to this idyllic and uncommonly friendly but industrious and ‎enigmatic paradise.The first 200 seats for all films are FREE* on a first come first serve rush basis. The Royal holds 400 viewers; 200 seats are available here on Universe.com at just $10.00 each‎, for those who would prefer to be assured of a seat!BACKGROUND - CineCubaJoin us at CineCuba 2015 and take in a pallette of perspectives on Cuba that promises not to shy away from showing real life in Cuba; one that amuses, entertains, and provokes an understanding as to how this often misunderstood nation manages to survive and to prioritize its medical and education systems to a standard that is world class by any measure. Cuban films have long been known to highlight controversial issues, yet they also unveil a populace that is generally happy, healthy, sharing, and enjoy an infectious sense of humour. Cuba has a rapidly evolving cultural and musical heritage and we are pleased to bring this to the Royal. CineCuba 2015 promises to delve into the sights, sounds and rhythms that make up the mosaic of history, art, music, sport, and daily routines that define Cuba. What lies at the heart of this rebellious nation, what is the secret to the magic of Cuba that has the whole world watching in suspense. We dedicate this year's festival to celebrate 70 years of diplomatic relations between Canada and Cuba and we congratulate ICAIC for this year’s repertoire. Join us as we lift the veil, come see us at:CineCuba 2015 - the Royal Theatre Toronto May 30th & 31st, 2015
