</a></b></font><font size=3>The Freedom Archives film - <b><i>Cointelpro
101</i></b> has just been shown twice, as part of the Festival
<br><br>
Internacional de Nueve Cine Latinoamericano. This 33rd annual festival
features all kinds of films from Cuba, the rest of Latin America, as well
as some from Europe, Canada and the US.<br><br>
Additionally, <b><i>Cointelpro 101</i></b> was broadcast earlier this
year on Cuban TV on the most popular political program – Mesa Redonda.
While in Havana we were interviewed for an updated introduction to the
film to be aired with <b><i>Cointelpro 101</i></b> again in its
entirety.<br><br>
We were honored to be on Cuban TV and to be a part of the film festival,
and to express our solidarity with Cuba and particularly with the case of
the Cuban 5, who are referred to in our film.<br><br>
Both festival showings took place in the Cine Infanta, a theater that has
recently been renovated. The first showing was on December 4th, where we
noted the anniversary of the assassination of Panther leaders Fred
Hampton and Mark Clark - also an important part of our film.<br><br>
The packed audience included a number of Cuban and North American
students, some from the program to educate students of color who receive
subsidized education in medical school in Havana, as well as members of
the International Committee to Support the Cuban 5. <br><br>
The audience also included other filmmakers and Cubans who had heard
about the film or were curious about its content. The film was very well
received as was evident in a discussion period which followed with me and
two of the film participants, Kathleen Cleaver and Laura Whitehorn. We
emphasized the ongoing nature of counter-intelligence and
counter-insurgency inside the US and worldwide as well as the need to
free the numerous political prisoners in the US.<br><br>
After both showings, smaller discussions continued outside the theater.
All in all, we are very gratified by the reception of the film and are of
course excited to be here in Havana and part of the festival.<br><br>
Thanks for supporting our work!<br><br>
