Estela Bravo Awarded TeleSur Prize at Havana Film Festival

Havana, Dec 13 (acn) The TeleSur award at the Havana's Latin American 
Cinema Festival went to US filmmaker Estela Bravo on Wednesday for her 
75-minute documentary "Who am I: The Found Children of Argentina."

The TeleSur prize was created to promote moviemakers with a personal 
social commitment. This year's award went to Bravo for capturing the 
significance of the struggle embarked upon by the Mothers of the Plaza 
de Mayo and the extraordinary handling of audiovisual techniques, 
reports Granma newspaper.

In receiving the award, Bravo said "Who Am I" has been the hardest
effort of her entire career. She praised the work of TeleSur for
showing what is happening in the different countries of the continent.
She also made a call to young people to film the new realities of Latin
America.

Other documentaries by Estela Bravo include "Fidel" (2001), "The Cuban 
Excludables" (1997) and "Miami-Havana" (1994).

The 29th Havana's Latin American Cinema Festival continues in the Cuban 
capital through Friday, December 14. The winning films will have an 
extra showing over the weekend.
