Online Travel Vietnam: The latter half of September may make foreign art aficionados busy with a variety of activities held in HCMC and Hanoi, amongst others around the country.
A documentary featuring Cuba under the Batista dictatorship from 1952 to 1959 directed by Russian director Mikhail Kalatozov will be screened today on September 16.
Titled "I am Cuba," the black and white movie consists of four short stories about the sufferings of the Cuban people and their reactions, varying from passive amazement in the first, to a guerrilla march in the last.
The film was made in 1964 but was not received well by either the Russian or Cuban public and was almost completely forgotten until it was re-discovered by filmmakers in the United States thirty years later.
The screening will take place at 6pm at Hanoi Goethe at 56- 58 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street.

More than 150 artists, musicians and singers of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet will perform a modern version of French composer Bizet's well-known opera "Carmen" at the end of this month.
Titled "Carmen Hanoi," the opera has its background set inside a Vietnamese cigarette factory.
Completed 1874, the original opera tells the story about Carmen, a Gipsy girl with optimistic, straightforward but wild personality. It describes the eternal confrontation between men and women, the cruel but beautiful life, as well as the co-existence between love and death.
In the new version, Carmen will come from Hanoi. The opera will portray Carmen as a victim rather than someone who is to blame for what happens as is seen in the original version.
The opera will be performed in English with Vietnamese subtitles at Hanoi Opera House at No 1 Trang Tien Street.
Tickets costing from VND200,000 to VND700,000 are available at the venue.
