The fledgling Cuban film industry is increasingly separating itself from the government, but its not an easy road - especially with an embargo looming over them. The article below from The New York Times explores the struggles Cuban filmmakers face due to the embargo, such as Miguel Coyula who raised $5200 on crowdfunding site Indiegogo only to have the funds frozen after the site determined that transferring funds to Cuba or a Cuban resident would violate the United States’ economic embargo. The Gables Cinema supports all avenues filmmakers can use to fund their films - especially those from Cuba, many of which we have played, including Esteban Insaustis Long Distance, mentioned in the article.
