Consultar preguntas frecuentesAbout Jeffrey
Jeffrey Puente García is a Cuban filmmaker recognized for his documentary work. Born in Marianao and raised in Candelaria, Pinar del Río, he developed an early passion for the arts and communication. He graduated from the National School of Arts (ENA) with a specialization in Theatrical Directing and later studied Directing at the Faculty of Audiovisual Media Arts (FAMCA) of the Higher Institute of Arts (ISA) in Cuba. He also attended scriptwriting and filmmaking workshops and taught dramaturgy. In Cuba, he directed a trilogy of documentaries on religious and community life in his hometown: 25 Kilómetros (2005), 72 Horas (2006), and Para subir al cielo (2007), all of which gained recognition at festivals inside and outside the island for their depth and sensitivity. Over a decade ago, Puente García moved to the United States, first to Key West and later to Miami, where he co-founded with Sergio Valens the project Voces de Cuba, a series of interviews and reports amplifying the voices of exiled Cubans and activists fighting for democratization. The self-funded project has produced more than 52 episodes to date. Throughout his career, Puente García has shown an unwavering commitment to documenting and sharing stories that highlight the cultural and spiritual richness of Cuban communities both inside and outside the island.

CAMPAIGN #CUBA: Faces of Repression
In 2020, I Directed #CUBA: Faces of Repression, a powerful social media campaign designed to raise international awareness of the systematic human rights violations that have taken place in Cuba for more than 60 years.
The campaign consisted of eight video episodes, each under 15 minutes, released between June and September 2020. These videos shared the courageous testimonies of Cuban citizens who had suffered repression under the communist regime.
#CUBA: Faces of Repression was a co-production of Voces de Cuba, Palenque Visión from Cuba and Freedom House.
Para subir al Cielo (2007) – Directed by Jeffrey Puente García
The film offers a poetic and intimate look at everyday life and spirituality, highlighting the resilience and human depth of Cuban communities.
PENSANDO EN CUBA (Thinking of Cuba)
Pensando en Cuba is an educational series of virtual classes that explores Cuban history from pre-colonial times to the present day. The program offers viewers a comprehensive and accessible journey through the island’s past, highlighting the events, figures, and ideas that have shaped the Cuban nation.
Produced by Voces de Cuba, the series was directed by Jeffrey Puente García with executive production by Janisset Rivero, and edited by Sergio Valens.
The classes were taught by distinguished professors: Dr. Graciela Cruz-Taura, Dr. Pedro Roig, and Janisset Rivero, bringing scholarly depth and clarity to each session.
Through this initiative, Pensando en Cuba seeks to preserve memory, promote civic education, and provide audiences—both Cubans and international viewers—with a deeper understanding of Cuba’s historical journey.
Voces de Cuba
Voces de Cuba is an audiovisual project dedicated to preserving the historical memory of Cuba through in-depth testimonies. Since 2014, it has recorded the voices of victims and witnesses of the Cuban communist regime—political prisoners, exiles, activists, and ordinary citizens—who share their personal experiences of repression, resistance, and survival.
By capturing these stories with cinematic quality, the project seeks to safeguard a truthful record for future generations, promote civic awareness, and give international visibility to the struggle for freedom and dignity in Cuba.
25 KM (2005)
This documentary follows sisters María Dolores and María de los Ángeles Domínguez as they walk 25 kilometers each week from their remote village of El Brujo to Candelaria to attend mass.
Part of a trilogy by Jeffrey Puente García (72 Hrs, Para subir al cielo), it reflects the perseverance of rural Catholic communities in Cuba. At its core is Father Yvan Bergeron, a Quebec missionary who served in Candelaria for decades.
More than a simple pilgrimage, 25 KM portrays faith, dignity, and resilience in the Domínguez-Martínez family, especially their mother Milagros Díaz, who strives to preserve tradition and spirituality amid hardship and isolation.
