Mon 4-15

* Filmfest DC movie (on the 16th too):New York-based singer Cucú Diamantes from Yerba Buena  returns to her homeland in Cuba to perform her songs. Along the way she realizes that she is "too much of a Cuban to live in New York and too much of a New Yorker to live in Havana." This paradox, along with a new-found romance, sets her semi-fictional lead character on a whirlwind tour through the Cuban heartland. Cuban filmmaker Jorge Perugorría mixes live concert footage with an over-the-top fiction smorgasbord to create a love story and a road movie with a flashy musical twist.  At AMC Mazza Gallerie
