<p><i><strong>AhíNamá! Festival of Contemporary Cuban Documentaries</strong></i> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Since 1990, young, independent filmmakers have 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.</p>
<p>The festival celebrates Cuban culture, documentary filmmaking and resourcefulness.</p>
