The closing event of the 17th annual Minnesota Cuban Film Festival marked a long history of collaboration between the Minnesota Cuba Committee, ICAIC, and the Minneapolis/St Paul Film Society. Showing Cuban films from emerging directors and featuring Cuban locations and actors to a growing audience of Minnesotans who now want to travel to Cuba was a bridge crossed with the help of this festival. The honorary guest of that night was her excellency Cuba's ambassador to the US, Lianys Torrez Rivera. The ambassador was in Minnesota on a 3-day tour to meet with local government officials, academic and scientific faculty, students, farmers, churches and solidarity organizations. Special guests of the film festival were Gloria "La Niña" Rivera and Sus Trio performing "Songs of My Parents" following the screening of The Mystery of Cuban Music: La Clave. Gloria is the daughter of the famous Cuban percussionist and song writer "El Nino" Rivera. The event was a thrilling success with over 200 in the Main Cinema's largest theater and standing room only in the aisles. The ambassador commented that the event and the tour of Minnesota were a big success, and we are so glad we finally made the trip to Minnesota and see the solidarity with Cuba that is here. In the photo with the ambassador is the husband of the ambassador Carlos Amores Balvin and 2nd Secretary David Ramirez Alvarez.
