Camila Guzmán Urzúa won the prize for Best Director for THE SUGAR CURTAIN at the Santiago Film Festival in Santiago, Chile last week. Urzúa documents her journey back to her childhood home in Cuba to revisit the so-called “golden age” of her childhood, while her memories contrast with the backdrop of present-day reality for her friends who stayed behind and those who left.
