1. Non-Profit Organization

AMI works with Cuban independent filmmakers, distributing their work in the U.S. and organizes U.S. documentary film screenings in the Cuban provinces.

Description

Since 2011, AMI has done consistently groundbreaking work in Cuba, including organizing tours of independently produced U.S. films through the provinces and engaging directly with Cuban audiences, specifically engaging Cuban youth. AMI’s work garners significant media coverage on Cuban television, in the press and online. Tours of U.S. films in Cuba have stimulated crucial conversations and knowledge exchange about U.S. issues from a diverse range of topics including Native American history, the civil rights movement and New Orleans politics. In the U.S., AMI has facilitated eight tours that allowed Cuban filmmakers to visit universities, museums, cultural centers, conferences and urban gardens across the country. In addition, AMI distributes independently produced Cuban documentaries, animations and short fictions in the U.S. and Canada through our distribution collaboration with Icarus Films in New York.
