General Admit

Miami Film Festival 2019 official selection YULI opens tonight at MDC’s Tower Theater Miami. YULI is the life story of ballet superstar Carlos Acosta, told from three distinct vantage points. As the 11th of 11 children in his low-income family, Yuli (as his father Pedro calls him), demonstrates great physical gifts but rebels against any kind of disciplinary studies, preferring to test his survival skills on Havana’s tough streets. Pedro eventually prevails and enrolls Yuli in the Cuban National Ballet School.

Edilson Manuel Olbera Núñez, who plays the roll of a young Yuli in the film, will attend tonight’s 7pm screening and participate in a post-screening Q&A.
