Join us for the first installment of the IPE Film Screening Series!

Experience the recently recovered documentary film, the Season Before Spring (2006), documenting the 2006 Carnival season, set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, by the French filmmaker Marie Devautour.

With a special introduction from the filmmaker, currently based in London, via Zoom.

Mozambique!: Una conversación con Leo Moré / A Conversation with Leo Moré digs into the mozambique, a rhythm that rose to prominence in Cuba in the mid-1960s as the sound of a new, youthful, revolutionary nation. Featuring veteran Cuban percussionist Leandro “Leo” Moré, this event will include a screening of an original documentary (Mozambique: El ritmo necesario / The Necessary Rhythm), a demonstration of the rhythm, and a call to Havana to speak with Mr. Moré, who participated in the development and dissemination of the rhythm, both in Cuba and abroad, with the group Pello el Afrokán y Su Ritmo Mozambique.
