BloomScreen Weekly Independent Film Night at Bloombars screens The Sugar Curtain (Le Rideau De Sucre) (2007, 80 min, Spanish with English subtitles) by Camila Guzmán Urzúa. The film is the filmmaker's intimate portrait about growing up in Cuba during the "golden years" of the Cuban Revolution and how the country has changed following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. 

The Sugar Curtain is a documentary reflecting on the Cuban Revolution through the eyes of those born and raised within it. It is an intimate portrait of a generation that began primary school when the Cuban regime was in its best economic phase (in the mid-’70s), and still sustained the energy of the early days. The film recounts this generation’s childhood and explores what happened later, when the socialist regimes of Eastern Europe ceased to exist. It was then that Cuba was left without allies, money or oil and the ideals of this generation were dismantled under the paralysis of the system.
