NCLAFF Film: The Brothers (Los Hermanos)

Dir. Marcia Jarmel & Ken Schneider. Cuba/USA. 2020. 84 minutes. In Spanish and English with English and Spanish subtitles.

Virtuoso Afro-Cuban-born brothers-violinist Ilmar and pianist Aldo-live on opposite sides of a geopolitical chasm a half-century wide. Tracking their parallel lives in New York and Havana, their poignant reunion, and their momentous first performances together, LOS HERMANOS/THE BROTHERS offers a nuanced, often startling view of estranged nations through the lens of music and family.

Shown with short films "This is Real" and "Cuentos de viejos (Old Folks' Tales)."

Free and open to the public.
