Canadians vacationing in Cuba will soon be able to get a feel for home by watching Cuban state television.

The National Film Board says nine of its films, Spanish versions of documentaries, animated shorts and one drama, are included in its first television licensing arrangement with a Cuban broadcaster.

The deal coincides with Canada’s participation as a guest country of honour at the Havana International Book Fair, which kicks off today and runs through February 19th

The films will screen in a theatre on the site of the book fair in addition to airing on Cuban TV.
