Fifth List
Fishermen from the ‘fifth list’ are the economic backbone and largest labor force in all fishermen communities in Cuba. Fishing is their sustain, culture and life. At the same time, they acknowledge that the future of fisheries depends on the balance between their economic needs, environmental preservation, governmental will, climate change impacts and other cultural factors. Several interests and stakeholders take part in this story, narrated by voices from five different coastal communities in Cuba.

Giselle Garcia CastroCountry: CubaRights: All Rights
Giselle is a Cuban filmmaker graduated from the University of Arts in Havana, Cuba (ISA). As an undergraduate student, she did an overseas course at St Thomas University in Minnesota, USA; where she got a Film Minor. Giselle has engaged in different film projects as a producer, assistant director and editor for international and Cuban companies. She is starting to direct her own documentaries with a specific interest in depicting current social issues in her home country, Cuba. She recently graduated from Royal Holloway University of London where she got a Masters Degree in Documentary by practice. Lista Quinta is her first feature film.
Lista Quinta is a film made with very specific educational and social purposes. It was designed to raise awareness about the current situation of coastal communities throughout Cuba. The timing for this project was essential because the first Fisheries Law of Cuba was just approved last July, 2019. Therefore, the film was meant to create an interest among viewers and decision makers about the needs and concerns that these vulnerable communities have and what will happen with them in the future. In order to give a wide sense of the fisheries, fishermen lifestyle and current policies that affect these populations, we visited five different communities that comprise North and South coasts of the Island. Upon completion, Lista Quinta was exhibited and presented by the crew in all the locations where it takes place. The feedback received was very positive and so far the film has served and continues to accomplish its goal of empowering fishermen in Cuba.
