In partnership with the Havana-Glasgow Film Festival to mark their 10th anniversary, we’ve curated a compelling selection of short films from Cuba and by Cubans in the diaspora that celebrate creativity, innovative climate action, and community to inspire and uplift. In this collection of engaging stories you’ll meet organic farmers, cycling advocates, entrepreneurs turning waste into paper, and eco-car wash innovators—each capturing Cuba’s bold and resourceful response to the climate crisis. The selection also includes a Cuban-Scottish collaboration, with a look at Pitlochry's Repair Cafe, shot by previous LandxSea festival guest, Cuban director Dani Acosta! Against the backdrop of economic hardship and rising sea levels, these films showcase grassroots action that reimagines sustainability from the ground up. Compelling characters offer a rare window into everyday life in Cuba, whilst spotlighting ecological ingenuity, local resilience, and environmental justice. This collaborative event with Havana-Glasgow Film Festival brings a truly international perspective on climate storytelling to Montrose. Followed by live Q&A with Eirene Houston and Julia Harriman, Havana-Glasgow Film Festival, and filmmaker Daniesky Acosta.
