Nos comparte este mensaje sobre lo que significa para ella:
“No hay palabras para expresar el agradecimiento que siento hacia todo el equipo de Bajo el Mismo Sol por hacer posible esta película juntos/as.
Gracias a los jurados por este reconocimiento tan especial, al festival por acogernos con tanto cariño y cuidado, y al público que nos acompañó y abrazó la película ❤️
Gracias también al equipo de casting @katsteamproducciones por ver algo en mí incluso antes de que yo pudiera verlo 🤗
Y especialmente gracias a nuestro director, @ulisesporraguardiola por mirar más allá de la experiencia y simplemente confiar. Su sensibilidad, paciencia y cuidado hicieron posible que encontrara una voz y una fuerza que ni yo misma sabía que tenía.” ✨

Some voices don’t fade. They stay with us.
This year, the Havana Star Prize for Best Documentary honors a story that goes beyond cinema a story that lives in music, in history, and in the soul of generations.
PARA VIVIR: EL IMPLACABLE TIEMPO DE PABLO MILANÉS, directed by Fabien Pisani, is not just a portrait, but a tribute to a legacy that continues to resonate across borders and time.
Through honesty, depth, and humanity, this film reminds us of the power of art to tell the stories that shape who we are.
Thank you for giving us something we will carry long after the screen goes dark. 🎬✨

Cinema is not just something we watch 🎥🥹
It’s something we feel, something that stays with us.
💫 This year, the Havana Star Prize 2026 celebrates stories that moved us, challenged us, and connected us beyond borders.
From Best Film to Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Documentary, each work carries a voice, a truth, a piece of humanity that deserves to be seen and remembered.
