Gimnasio del Boxeo Centro Habana "Orlandito Martinez" was founded in 2011 by Samuel Fabbri, an Italian former boxeur who has been living in Cuba for 30 years. They decided to change the fate of an abandoned building in the Barrio Colòn and launching there a boxing gym with social purposes. In 2024, the Italian director Cristiano Regina decided to tell the story of Samuel's dream, in one of the toughest periods of the recent Cuban history.
Cristiano Regina (Naples, 1977) is an Italian documentary filmmaker and cinematographer. In 2009 he founded Voice Off, a local NGO that deals with audiovisual productions and participatory workshops. He worked with political refugees, second-generation teenagers, Serbian and Cameroonian youth, the elderly and the disabled people. His previous film, "Baladi - This is my village", shot in Palestine in 2018 premiered at Visioni dal Mondo Festival 2019. "A TU LADO" is his latest documentary.

A TU LADO è una co-produzione tra Articolture (Italia), Fractal (Spagna) e GatoRosaFilms (Cuba), resa possibile grazie al sostegno di Creative Europe MEDIA Slate, del fondo di produzione Ibermedia, del sostegno della Emilia-Romagna Film Commission in Italia, del sostegno dell’ICEC in Spagna e del sostegno dell’ICAIC a Cuba.
Grazie a questi finanziamenti e istituzioni, il documentario è stato girato a L'Avana nel marzo 2024. Nel 2025 è stato firmato un accordo di distribuzione internazionale con lo storico sales agent brasiliano HABANERO FILM SALES ed è stato presentato al 40° Festival Cinelat di Trieste (IT) e nel 2026 approda nelle sale cinematografiche. Il nostro obiettivo è sostenere il Gimnasio e la sua comunità attraverso il film: aiutaci a donare e a dare più voce a queste realtà!
