The Project of the Century (Spanish: La obra del siglo) is a 2015 film directed by Carlos M. Quintela. The director's second feature film, it was screened at a number of international festivals, such as the Havana Film Festival, the Miami International Film Festival, and the International Film Festival Rotterdam, where it won the prestigious Tiger Award.
"The Project of the Century" alludes to the Juragua Nuclear Power Plant, a Soviet-Cuban project abandoned in 1992 following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The film, set in the workers’ town built next to the abandoned power plant, was shot in black-and-white. Quintela made use of archive footage from Cuban television.
The film was acquired by German sales company M-appeal.
