The 2015-16 Latin American Film Festival presents the sport documentary, “Ghost Town to Havana” at 5:30 p.m. Friday, April 22 in the Peters Educational Center Auditorium (west of Save Mart Center in the Student Recreation Center) as part of the Fresno State CineCulture Film Series. This final movie screening of the festival features the director, Eugene Corr, leading a post-film discussion. The 86-minute film tells a youth baseball story from the perspective of the streets — a team from a struggling neighborhood in Havana coached by Nicolas Reyes, and a team in a gang-ridden Oakland neighborhood, coached by Roscoe Bryant. The two coaches encounter difficulties arranging a game between the two teams, but after they make it happen the tragedy of the street life in Oakland catches up with the boys. Corr is a celebrated filmmaker with experience in documentaries, feature films and television. His father was a baseball coach in Richmond for 40 years. The event is co-sponsored by the Department of Political Science. All films are free and open to the public. Parking is relaxed on weekends after 4 p.m. on Fridays.
