Cuba 15 (1997, US/Spain, 13:46) by Elizabeth Schub. Best Short Film Jury & Audience Awards, Berlinale, Panorama. Producer: Pedro Valiente

Cuba 15 received an Emmy Award nomination as part of “She Shorts” program on POV (Point of View), PBS

“A selection of hypnotically engaging short films by and about women that delve into the elation, passion and pain of contemporary female experience. From a vivacious celebration of coming of age in Elizabeth Schub's Cuba 15, to darkly drawn cycles of domestic trauma in Repetition Compulsion by Ellie Lee, to an evocative portrait of acclaimed author Dorothy Allison in Two or Three Things But Nothing For Sure by Tina DeFeliciantonio and Jane C. Wagner, this collection of cinematic gems offers vivid and lyrical pictures of joy, endurance and inspiration.” —POV
