The Americas Media Initiative (AMI) uses film to forge landmark cultural exchange programs between Cuban and U.S. citizens. Over the past three years, AMI has consistently done groundbreaking work in Cuba: organizing tours of independently produced U.S. films in the provinces, engaging with Cuban audiences, and generating significant media coverage on Cuban television, in the press and on the Internet. The films and tours have stimulated conversation and knowledge exchange about issues as diverse as Native American history, the civil rights movement and New Orleans politics. In the U.S., AMI has facilitated six tours, bringing Cuban filmmakers to universities, museums and cultural centers across the country. In addition, AMI distributes DVDs of independently produced Cuban documentaries, animations and short fictions with Icarus Films, New York.
