HAVANA.- (acn) A meeting with British Paul Dugdale, director of the documentaries on the Rolling Stones tour of Latin America and their concert in Cuba, and the screening of 85 films are the highlight today in the program of the Havana Film Festival, which runs until December 18th in this city.

The exchange with Dugdale, a multi-award-winning filmmaker based in London, will take place at Sancti Spíritus room of the Nacional Hotel, where it is expected him to talk about the shooting process of the two materials, collected under the general title The Rolling Stones Olé Olé Olé!: A trip Across Latin America.

Among the documentaries, Havana Moon-The Rolling Stones Live in Cuba, on the concert of the prestigious British band in Havana, last March 25, attended by more than 500 000 people, creates expectations.

Paul Dugdale has directed numerous live concert films by leading artists around the world and has been nominated for Grammy Award in categories such as Video Music.

Gutiérrez Alea, who died on April 16, 1996, appears in contention in the category of Restored Classics, one of the novelties of this edition of the contest.
