Part of the historical memory of the Cuban migratory process is reconstructed from the audiovisual made by Cuban young filmmakers. In this article the authors propose a qualitative interpretation of the audiovisual symbolic construction of the Cuban migratory process, based on the qualitative analysis of a selection of award-winning films at the ICAIC Youth Exhibition. The research referred to multiple edges of the phenomenon; in this case, not only limited to the always singular and circular process of migration, but to the act of creating, and to what a cultural movement may or may not mean in the creative, cultural and symbolic field of a nation. The context in which the analyzed films take place was described, as well as the distinctive characteristics of the cultural event in which these films are released. When approaching the sample selection, it was possible to find areas of encounters and coincidences, both aesthetic and narrative, of the filmmakers, as well as differences. On the other hand, a profile of the Cuban migrant was outlined, endorsed in the audiovisual representation.

Keywords : audiovisual symbolic construction; migration; ICAIC Youth Exhibition.
