December 19, 2025 — Belly of the Beast

The renowned actor last week received the Honorary Coral at the 46th Havana International Film Festival. Bernal, who has starred in films like Amores Perros, Y tu mamá también and Babel, has several links to Cuba. He studied on the island at the San Antonio de los Baños International Film and TV School, played Che Guevara twice (in the 2002 TV mini series Fidel and the 2004 film The Motorcycle Diaries) and was an actor in Wasp Network, which was partially filmed in Cuba. “I’m moved by this award,” the actor said. “I want to thank Cuba, which has given me so much.”
