Sergio Giral is a renowned Black Cuban-American film writer and director, born in Havana, Cuba from an American mother and a Cuban father. He was raised in New York City, as an aspiring young painter in the days of the Beatnick generation. In 1962 Oscar winner cinematographer, Nestor Almendros, invited Giral to work together at the ICAIC (The Cuban Film Institute). It was there, after a series of shorts and documentaries, that Giral filmed his famous trilogy that won numerous awards and recognitions around the world. In 1991, Giral returned to United State and since then he resides in Paris, France and Miami, Fl.

VILLA MISERIA Un libro de Sergio Giral

Villa Miseria es algo más que una pensión para cineastas y artistas bohemios en el barrio habanero del Vedado. En ella -y en los personajes que por ella transitan- el autor ve la metáfora de la erosión y el deterioro de una nación entera bajo la dictadura de Fidel Castro. Unos vegetan, otros mueren y algunos afortunados escapan a su inevitable derrumbe, pero sus quebradas estructuras y cimientos sobreviven contra viento y marea, desafiando cualquier pronóstico.
