The Mamboniks Film Screening
Posted by MambonikFilmmaker on 02/07/2019 @ 01:00 PM
WHAT "THE MAMBONIKS," a new film about the Jewish love of Latin music and dance, will make its world premiere at the Miami Film Festival. Directed by Peabody Award-winning producer Lex Gillespie, the movie was filmed in South Florida and features many local residents in starring roles.
WHEN March 3, 2019, at 3PM
WHERE The Coral Gables Art Cinema, 260 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables, FL 33134, 786.385.9689
TICKETS HERE https://2019.miamifilmfestival.com/films/mamboniks/
ABOUT THE FILM Bagels meet bongos in THE MAMBONIKS, a 90-minute documentary that tells the little-known story of the Jewish love affair with Latin music. Set in New York, Havana, Miami Beach, and the Catskill Mountains, this uplifting film features a lovable, somewhat zany collection of dancers from the 1950s. Now retired yet still dancing in Florida, they share their passion for the mambo, the hot dance from Cuba that became a world-wide sensation. With an infectious soundtrack including Tito Puente, Celia Cruz and mambo king Pérez Prado, this film explores a mostly unexamined aspect of Jewish life and culture.
