Abstract
Within the rapidly shifting landscape of Cuban audiovisual culture, a younger generation of directors is experimenting with the documentary form, breathing new life into a tradition of nonfiction film on the topic of a complex and evolving national identity. This chapter will discuss the work of Jorge de León and Armando Capó, two of the noteworthy independent filmmakers whose bold aesthetic and creative risks expand the borders of Cuban documentary film into new and uncharted territory.
