Our conversation with Jorge Perrugoria, filmed at his "house" during the Gibara International Film Festival.
This conversation took place in April at Jorge Perugorría’s house in the town of Gibara on the eastern coast of Cuba. It was filmed during the Gibara International Film Festival of 2017 by the American artist and filmmaker Willard Morgan.
Jorge Perugorría is Cuba’s greatest actor, a film director, an artist and president of the Gibara International Film Festival. He also owns an art gallery in Old Havana. Today, it is Perugorría’s mission and ambition to continue with the vision of Humberto Solás, the Cuban film director and original founder of the Festival.
