Q&A with filmmaker Hugo Perez
The island of Cuba abounds with world-class musicians and chief among them is Omara Portuondo, the Afro-Cuban chanteuse best known for her work as a veteran member of the famous Buena Vista Social Club ensemble. Over an award-winning, eight-decade career, Portuondo has left an indelible mark on Caribbean music history. In OMARA, director Hugo Perez follows the renowned singer on her third "final" tour and captures a lively, charming and sharp octogenarian whose voice still resonates with beauty and whose art has inspired listeners across the world. Official Se-lection, 2022 Miami Film Festival. DIR/SCR Hugo Perez; PROD Danelle Eliav, Dana Kuznetzkoff, Ann Lewnes, Frida Torresblanco. U.S., 2021 color, 76 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles. NOT RATED
