This double-bill pairs the rediscovered I Am Cuba, a compelling portrait of Batista's Cuba, with an absorbing documentary about the making of this historic film.

Second film start time: 9:30 pm. I Am Cuba is justly revered for its virtuoso filmmaking techniques and compelling portrait of Batista's seductive, decadent Cuba. But the film was almost lost to history until it was rediscovered by Americans, including Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, who helped finance its rerelease in the mid 1990s. (141 mins.)

The fascinating story of this historic Cuban/Soviet coproduction's making and legacy is chronicled in the absorbing and informative documentary I Am Cuba, the Siberian Mammoth. (90 mins.)
