Havana Glasgow Film Festival (HGFF), born in 2014, showcases Cuban cinema and culture within Havana’s twin city of Glasgow, Scotland.

The festival celebrates local identities and cultures, highlighting the similarities between Havana and Glasgow and the thriving artistic talent that exists within both cities.

Our ninth Havana Glasgow Film Festival, running from 15-19 Nov 2023, will screen the best Cuban documentary, feature and short films , facilitate discussions and host dynamic cultural events, both in-person and online. We have unique access to Cuban films in the UK through our partnership with the Cuban Film Institute (ICAIC).
