AhíNamá! Festival of Contemporary Cuban Documentaries has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the group CanalDocumental TV, which serves as a vital online point of distribution for independent, documentary filmmakers, either from Cuba, or making shorts about Cuba. It takes place at select venues across London from 8th-10th October 09.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba entered a period of devastating scarcity known as the "Special Period". Naturally this scarcity affected all aspects of life on the island and the film industry was no exception.

Since 1990, young, independent filmmakers had to make films in new ways - both materially and ideologically - in order to embrace the transitions on the island. This has lead to some extremely innovative filmmaking that has documented these times of transition in Cuba.


The documentaries to be shown will be of interest to those concerned with contemporary Latin American and Caribbean culture, aficionados of independent, budget filmmaking and of course, those interested in documentary films.
