Since 1959, Cuban cinema has been inextricably tied to the Cuban revolution. Yet the historical conditions out of which both the revolution and the Cuban cinema emerged have been transformed in many ways.The recent social changes in Cuban society have made a significant impact on a new generation of Cuban filmmakers. They have benefited from a new context, characterized by greater access to new technologies, the emergence on the island of new independent production companies and a new political and social landscape. Within the film ecosystem, we have witnessed to some extent the decline of the Instituto Cubano de Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC), once a producer of films of great importance such as Memorias del Subdesarrollo (1968) and Lucia (1968) that were part of a wider impulseof continental movements in relation to film culture. By contrast, Cuba is trying to insert itself in the dynamics of a globalized world. This new situation adds layers of complexity to the Cuban cultural system. Where once filmmakers only had to negotiate the representation of reality with Cuban political and cultural elites and audiences on the island, according to a socialist model of creation, they are now more directly engaged with entities and audiences in another countries. This new system of relations, in which the state continues to play a fundamental role, brings into play, firstly, issues of national identity and the idea of national cinema, and secondly, the role that Cuba would come to play in a world of great interdependencies and interconnections.

自1959年以来，古巴电影与古巴革命有着千丝万缕的联系，然而革命和古巴电影诞生的历史条件已经在很多方面发生了变化。古巴社会最近的社会变革对古巴社会产生了重大影响。新一代的古巴电影制作人受益于新的环境，其特点是更多地接触新技术、岛上新的独立制作公司的出现以及电影生态系统中新的政治和社会格局。下降的程度相比之下，古巴正试图融入全球化世界的动态之中，这种新形势使古巴文化体系变得更加复杂，而电影制作人曾经只需要就代表问题进行谈判。根据社会主义的创造模式，他们现在与其他国家的实体和受众更加直接地接触，在这种新的关系体系中，国家继续发挥着重要作用。古巴将在一个高度相互依存和相互联系的世界中发挥重要作用。
