Months after being pulled from the Sundance Film Festival, Lucy Walker‘s Buena Vista Social Club documentary has both a title and a release date. “Buena Vista Social Club: Adios” is due in theaters on May 26 via Broad Green Pictures, the distributor confirmed.

Uncertainty and controversy have surrounded the film since the unexpected cancelation of its Park City premiere.

IndieWire’s Anne Thompson and Graham Winfrey wrote at length about the current state of Broad Green and Walker’s documentary in particular shortly after the festival.
