This book provides timely insight into Cuba's changing sociopolitical and cultural landscape in the post-Castro era by focusing on how the works of young directors present the topic of sexuality diversity. It comes at a time of controversial debate over the island's cultural policy and recent legislation that has begun to facilitate independent film production. It is also nestled between social debates on same-sex marriage that informed the new constitution and a possible referendum in 2021 that would make it legal. The project is the result of years of travel to Havana for archival research, conducting interviews, and first-person participation in the viewings and public debates of the annual Showcase of Young Directors-The Muestra Joven. The author's first-hand accounts lend vibrancy to in-depth analyses of films and filmmaking in today's Cuba. The Muestra Joven which is due to celebrate its twentieth anniversary in 2021, is charged with creative energy and political tension as it brings together sometimes conflicting interests between state officials and artists.
