# Event Details

- **Event Name**: HGFF25: UK Premiere of 'Life is Dance'
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 13 Nov, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: UK Premiere of award-winning documentary by Festival Directors Eirene Houston and Hugo Rivalta which follows the stories of six main protagonists, across three generations. These are ordinary Cubans with one thing in common –  their love of dance.

Marta and Félix are nostalgic for the dance halls of old but still dance whenever they can. Damaris and Gusmel are leaders of a small town dance group and it means everything to them to win the annual dance competition. Teenagers Lachy and Dayan would love to be professional dancers, if only they could just dance reggaeton and not have to learn the ‘old people’s dances.’

Full colour and music, disappointment and joy, we join these charismatic characters on their journey.

This film recently won the Programmers Choice Award at Waco Independent Film Festival, Texas.

Preceded by short film Kimera

Yoel Infante / Alejandro Valera I Cuba 2024 I 12m I N/C PG

Painting a tender portrait of a Cuban boy whose dreams fill his world with joy, we join him as economic shortages and family obligations pull his dreams further and further away. Mirroring the lives of many children across Cuba today, this powerful short encapsulates the importance of cinematic storytelling. 

Followed by Q&A with film directors Eirene Houston and Hugo Rivalta and Pete Wiggs from Saint Etienne, hosted by actor Libby McArthur
