¿Cuba que linda es Cuba? Confessions of a fearless Cuban, a mix of theatre and animation.

He will be sharing his inspiration for this film with a book reading and taking questions afterwards.

Hebert Poll Gutiérrez is a Calgary poet, playwright, writer and aspiring filmmaker who grew up in Matanzas, Cuba, the child of artists, prior to relocating to Calgary in 2020 during the middle of the pandemic. He may have switched hemispheres, but he made sure to bring his creative life with him.
