American Friends of the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba (AFLFC) is the leading organization in the U.S. fostering cultural exchange between American and Cuban artists and art professionals. Our unique partnership with the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba, a non-governmental, non-profit art and cultural institution in Havana, has enabled us to maintain exclusive ties to the vibrant art community of Cuba. 

The Havana Film Festival New York (HFFNY), a project of AFLFC, echoes the mission of the Havana Film Festival in Cuba (Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano), presenting prominent and emerging filmmakers and showcasing the latest award-winning films from Cuba, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Latino community in the U.S. In addition, HFFNY’s panel discussions provide unique opportunities for audience-artist dialogue designed to give a behind-the-scene look at an industry that continues to gain global recognition. AFLFC maintains a large collection of Cuban films and collaborates with film festivals, schools and cultural institutions nationally and internationally in an effort to increase their exposure.

American Friends of the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization chartered in the State of New York. Your contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
