The Canada Independent Film Festival, which will take place in Montreal on February 16, 2019, has selected eight documentary films, including Cuba, Libre?, to compete for its “Best Documentary” award, a separate category from “Best Canadian Documentary” which includes eight additional nominated films from that country.

This marks the 34th time that Cuba, Libre? has been made an “Official Selection” by a film festival or film award competition.

CIFF is one of the “Top 100 Best Reviewed Festivals” on FilmFreeway, one of two online services used by film festivals to solicit submissions by filmmakers.
