Alfredo Guevara Obituary
Guevara was a close associate of Fidel and Raul Castro when they were young rebel leaders, and a firm backer of the struggle to oust strongman Fulgencio Batista.
After the 1959 Cuban Revolution he became a leading cultural official and defender of the arts for more than five decades.
He founded the Cuban Art and Cinematography Institute in 1959 and later the Festival of New Latin American Cinema, one of the oldest of its kind in the region.
In the 1970s he was named a vice minister of government.
State TV said Friday that Guevara died in the morning of a heart attack.
