Claim 1: “NY’s Havana Film Festival comedies about love and sex, plus some more about more love and sex... Titles such as “Havana Coyotes” and “My Cuban Dream” are playing at DGA Theater in Midtown West and Quad Cinema near Union Square.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence confirms the existence of the Havana Film Festival New York (HFFNY) and its association with the Quad Cinema, there is no mention in the provided evidence of the specific films 'Havana Coyotes' or 'My Cuban Dream', nor is there confirmation of the DGA Theater being used for these specific titles. The evidence confirms the festival's general nature and upcoming dates, but does not corroborate the specific programming details mentioned in the claim.
