Pages labeled “Amendments and Endorsements” are not acceptable Need to Renew Your Passport? Contact the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) at 1-877-487-2778, or visit their website at www.travel.state.gov for information on obtaining a new passport or renewing your existing passport. You may also contact our recommended visa service company, PVS International, at 1-800-556-9990 for help with your passport Recommended Blank Pages Please confirm that your passport has enough blank pages for this trip. • Main trip: You will need 2 blank passport pages. Please note: You might not use all of these pages on your trip (when you return, some may still be blank) but local officials will want to see that you have them. Visa Required The cost of a visa for Cuba for non-Cuban born participants is included in your program price. Information about the visa will be mailed to you about 10 days after you make your reservation. Please review it promptly, as we need you to send us: • Two legible color photocopies of your passport photo page • If you have a foreign passport but are a resident of the United States, you will also need to send us two legible color photocopies of your U. S. residency card. • A completed Emergency Contact Form Unlike a typical visa that appears in your passport, this visa is more like a tourist card, which you will receive in Miami prior to our departure for Havana. Upon arrival in Havana, Cuban immigration officials will collect the first half of the card. The other half will be collected when you depart. 07/13/2017 FCT2017 3 IMPORTANT for Cuban-Born Participants: There is a supplement—currently $200 per person—for a visa for Cuban-born participants. If you are Cuban-born and have not yet alerted our Program Support staff, please contact them as soon as possible at 1-855-423- 3443 (Mon-Fri 9am to 8pm; Sat-Sun 9am-7pm EST). Traveling Without a U.S. Passport? If you have a foreign passport and are not a resident of the U.S., it is your responsibility to check with your local consulate, embassy, or a visa services company about visa requirements. We recommend the services of PVS International, a national visa service located in Washington D.C.; they can be reached at 1-800-556-9990 or www.pvsinternational.org. Our License U.S. government regulations state that all program arrangements in Cuba must be made by a licensed Travel Service Provider (TSP) approved by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Our OFAC approved, licensed TSP is Educational Travel Alliance (ETA). ETA works closely with Havanatur, a leading Cuban tour operator that has been appointed by the Cuban government to specialize in programs from the U.S. You are traveling under a general “People-to-People” license granted by the U.S. Government Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). It provides authorization for “a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities … that will result in meaningful interaction between the participants and individuals in Cuba”. You will be expected to actively participate in and engage in all meetings (even if you are not a U.S. citizen or resident) and to approach our people-to-people interactions with Cubans with an open mind—and an open heart. Letter of Authorization When you check in for your flight to Havana at the Miami airport, we will give you a copy of a letter authorizing you to travel to Cuba under a general People-to-People license. You will need to keep these documents for a minimum of six months after your return, in the unlikely event of government scrutiny. Trusted Traveler Programs Some travelers have found that Trusted Traveler programs can expedite long waits at customs when re entering the U.S. There are currently three programs available: Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI. These three programs also include TSA Pre-Check, which allows you to use a dedicated security line at participating airports, or you can apply solely for TSA Pre-Check. TIP: Keep in mind that not all airports and airlines participate in these programs. You may want to consider checking with your airport prior to applying to find out if these programs would benefit you. To apply for a Trusted Traveler program or TSA Pre-Check, typically you will be asked to pay an application fee (varies by program) and schedule a background check and/or an interview. If you are approved, you will be issued a Known Traveler Number (KTN). Your KTN is valid for a set number of years, based on the conditions of the program. Please see the U.S. Customs 4 FCT2017 07/13/2017 and Border Protection website for more details on each of these programs: www.cbp.gov/ travel/trusted-traveler-programs. You can also find more information about TSA Pre-Check at www.tsa.gov/precheck. If you are enrolled in TSA Pre-Check (or a Trusted Traveler program that includes it), you must provide your KTN to the airlines. Emergency Photocopies of Key Documents We recommend you carry color photocopies of key documents including the photo page of your passport plus any applicable visas, air itinerary, credit cards (front and back), and an alternative form of ID. Add emergency phone numbers like your credit card company and the number for your travel protection plan. Store copies separate from the originals. If you plan to email this information to yourself, please keep in mind that email is not always secure; consider using password protection or encryption. Also email is not always available worldwide. As an alternative, you could load these documents onto a flash drive instead, which can do double-duty as a place to backup photos during your trip. Overseas Taxes & Fees This tour may have taxes and fees that cannot be included in your airline ticket price because you are required to pay them in person onsite. All taxes are subject to change without notice and can be paid in cash (either U.S. or local currency). If applicable, you will receive a list of these fees with your Final Documents. 07/13/2017 FCT2017 5 HEALTH Keep Your Abilities in Mind Please review the information below prior to departing on this journey. We reserve the right for our Trip Leaders to modify participation, or in some circumstances send travelers home, if their condition would adversely affect the health, safety, or enjoyment of themselves or of other travelers. PACING • 3 locations in 11 days with a one-night stay in Miami • Roundtrip flight between Miami and Havana PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS • Not appropriate for travelers using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids • You must be able to walk 2-3 miles unassisted and participate in a full schedule of People-to-People exchange meetings each day CLIMATE • Daytime temperatures range from approximately 70-90ºF • The weather in Cuba is semi-subtropical year-round, with trade winds often tempering the heat TERRAIN • Walk along many uneven cobblestone streets in Havana and Trinidad, and along dirt paths in the Escambray Mountains TRANSPORTATION • Travel by private, air-conditioned 32-passenger motorcoach • Three 2- to 6-hour drives between cities ACCOMMODATIONS & FACILITIES • Hotel rooms in Cuba, while clean and comfortable, offer simple amenities • All accommodations feature private baths • Some hotels may not have elevators, or working elevators, and may require you to walk up stairs to rooms on second or third floors FOOD • Due to Cuba’s limited access to fresh produce, meals may lack variety 6 FCT2017 07/13/2017 • Typical Cuban cuisine consists of dishes based on rice, beans, chicken, pork, plantains, and root vegetables What to Expect: The Rigors of Traveling in Cuba Due to an inconsistent infrastructure, travel in Cuba sometimes poses minor physical challenges. So for your comfort and safety, we recommend this program only to individuals in good physical condition. If you have any ongoing medical conditions or concerns about your health, we highly recommend that you schedule a checkup with your personal physician at least six weeks in advance of your departure date.

  • Zully Rodriguez Wikipedia Diccionari
    Zully rodriguez wikipedia diccionari Continue The cinema arrived in Latin America in 1896, a year after its first public screening in Paris. With him came film and projection equipment and specialists of the region, mainly Italian. In Argentina, in the early 20th century, the Frenchman Eugenio Pai made the first films, the Italian Atelio Lipizzi founded the film company Italate-Argentina, and the Austrian Max Gluxmann created a distribution system vital to the sound period. When the first exhibition halls appeared, another important pioneer, The Italian Mario Gallo, appeared, followed by his compatriots Edmundo Peruzzi and Federico Valle. Uruguayan Julio Raul Alsina, associated with distribution and exhibition, was the first to open a studio with a laboratory. Argentinian cinema has revealed other names, such as Edmo Cominetti, Nelo Kosimi, Jose Agustan Ferreira, Roberto Guidi, Julio Irigoyen and Leopoldo Torre Rios, who joined the board of directors of the silent period. The cinema was opened in Rio de Janeiro in the so-called beautiful era of Brazilian cinema, in the early 20th century, the Portuguese Antonio Leal, the Spanish Francisco Serrador, the Brazilian brothers Alberto and Paulino Bocheli and Marc Ferres and his son, Jalio (associated with Pate, from Paris) followed. German Eduardo Hirtz appeared in Porto Alegre. Around 1912, the regional features of silent cinema were laid out: in Pelotas, Portuguese Francisco Santos; in Belo Horizonte, Italians Igino Bonfioli; in Barbazen, Paulo Benedetti; in Sao Paulo, other Italians, Vittorio Capellaro, Gilberto Rossi and Arturo Carrari; in Campias, Felipe Ricci and E.K. Kerrigan of The United in Recife, Gentile Roise, Ari Sever, Jota Soares and Edson Chagas; in the Amazon region, two documentary filmmakers, The Portuguese Silvino Santos (Manaus) and the Spaniard Ramon de Banos (Belem).

  • Cuban and Russian Film (1960-2000)
    1 Carnivals of Transition: Cuban and Russian Film (1960-2000) Anna M. Hillman Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the Ph.D. degree. Queen Mary, University of London, School of Languages, Linguistics and Film. The candidate confirms that the thesis does not exceed the word limit prescribed by the University of London, and that work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given to research done by others. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on ‘carnivals of transition’, as it examines cinematic representations in relation to socio-political and cultural reforms, including globalization, from 1960 to 2000, in Cuban and Russian films. The comparative approach adopted in this study analyses films with similar aesthetics, paying particular attention to the historical periods and the directors chosen, namely Leonid Gaidai, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, El’dar Riazanov, Juan Carlos Tabío, Iurii Mamin, Daniel Díaz Torres and Fernando Pérez. This thesis maintains that most of the selected Cuban films are carnivalesque comedies comparable to films made during the same period in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. This thesis further argues that the carnivalesque became a strategic mode for socio-political subversion in these two countries. Informed by textual, contextual and intertextual examinations of selected films, this thesis establishes that the carnivalesque in both countries has been characterized by an eclectic mixture of genres, ranging from light farcical comedies to black, surreal comedies and satires, thus making this mode instrumental for the representation of competing socio-political, cultural, and intercultural trends. By investigating the evolution from bright carnivalesque film comedies to dark grotesque humour in Cuba and Soviet and post-Soviet Russia, this thesis provides new insights on black humour and on the importance of intercultural dialogue for the formation of new local and global cultural trends.
