The weekly arts magazine presented by James Mossman

Of all communist states in the world, with the possible exception of Yugoslavia, Cuba is the one that encourages the most artistic experiment. The result has been a flowering of creative activities and an enthusiasm which sometimes clashes with the underlying view of the authorities that art is a weapon of state.
This week Review reports from Cuba, with an on-the-spot look at a dynamic new film industry, the National Folkloric Ballet Company (prima ballerina Alicia Alonso), and three modern theatre companies.
There are also interviews with leading writers about the role of artists in Castro's revolution and how much freedom is possible in a communist regime.
