Suburb of Belen

A lively study of Havana's first and oldest neighborhood, the decaying, elegant portside district of Belen. The characters, architecture, music and dancing of the place mark it as quite distinct from the rest of the city, and while old-timers lament the change, the next generation show no sign of wanting to move on.

Marité Ugás

At Half Past Midnight (1999);
A la Media Noche y Media (1992), co-directed with Mariana Roudon, feature film debut.
