There’s a tenuous balance between reality and fiction, particularly when it links a beautiful young woman and a powerful politico in a dark dance of money, murder, and suicide. A passionate filmmaker, creating a film based upon a true crime, casts a mysterious young woman bearing a disturbing resemblance to the femme fatale in the story. He soon finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue, obsessed with the woman, the crime, her possibly notorious past, and the shifting line between art and truth. As the story unfolds in settings ranging from North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains to Verona, Rome, and London, new truths are revealed and clues to other crimes and passions, darker and even more complex, are uncovered. The film will screen Friday, July 29 at 9:15 p.m.; Saturday, July 30 at 5:45 p.m.; and Sunday, July 31 at 6:15 p.m. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff. General admission is $9. Free for UM students. To purchase tickets online or for more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.

The exhibit will be on display from July 7 to August 12, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Korach Gallery of the Jorge M. Perez Architecture Center. A reception will be held on Wednesday, July 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public.

Cuban–born Victoria Montoro left Havana in 1961 and returned for the first time in 2008. The daughter of a former political prisoner, she calls the trip the most important of her life. It was a time for her to reconcile her memories from those invented ones or imagined ones acquired through the years. This body of work reveals how the buildings in La Habana have endured.
