Take me to Cuba : The winds of changes II – freedom of travel for Cuban citizens and free productions for LERROS fashion as well as COSMO UK

Christian Bengsch from the international production company tells GoSee: ‘in a country like Cuba that has such controversial politics, it’s always good to keep up with what’s happening. We recently talked to GoSee about the ‘winds of changes’ and how the more relaxed political climate is affecting the professional field.

Now we can announce another milestone in these changing times – the freedom of travel for Cuban citizens. The law comes into force on 14. January and underlines the pioneering spirit that still prevails in Cuba.’

And we are pleased to present their latest productions here. ‘Take me to Cuba’ worked on a production in Cuba for fashion label LERROS and the Feuerland agency with photographer Ernst Alexander.

English COSMOPOLITAN visited Havana in December; the photographer was Olivia Graham from New York.

Americans are becoming increasingly interested in Cuba. But fashion labels and advertising agencies are still not allowed to officially produce in Cuba. Nevertheless there’s more than one company that has Cuba on their production shortlist.

Individual professionals still make their way to Havana, for example ‘Take me to Cuba’ supports a documentary film made by students from an American university this year about Havana’s baseball kids. We’ll present the results shortly here on GoSee and on YouTube.
