DESCRIPTION:A.N.S.W.E.R. Film Series  Fresa y Chocolate (Strawberry and Chocolate)  
 With a report and discussion about the gains made within the Cuban 
 revolution for LGBT rights  Fresa y Chocolate (Strawberries and Chocolate) 
 is a Cuban-made film set in Havana in 1979. The director, Tomas Gutierrez 
 Alea is one of the most prominent filmmakers working in Cuba's 
 government-supported film institute, the Instituto Cubano del Arte   e 
 Industria Cinematograficos (ICAIC). Alea is a committed revolutionary; and 
 his best features explore the social, political, and historical dimensions 
 of the revolutionary process.   In Fresa y Chocolate, the director traces 
 the relationship between a young gay man and a revolutionary-minded 
 straight man. One battles alienation, while the other his long-held 
 prejudices. At first their interactions are atagonistic, but grow to be 
 genuine and substantial. This is an intricate and layered film, deftly 
 combining comedy and drama. The only film released by ICAIC in 1994 at the 
 height of the “special period”, it had a significant impact on Cuban 
 society. Given the profound economic crisis gripping Cuba during this time, 
 it is astonishing that a feature such as Fresa y Chocolate could be 
 produced. 1994, Cuba, Spanish with English subtitles, 108min.  $5 donation.
