Before the Communist regime, Havana had 135 cinemas – more than New York City or Paris. Today less than 20 remain open, although the city's population has doubled. The Communist regime established a control of Cuba's film industry, and it was made compulsory for all movies to be censored by the "Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos" before broadcast or release. In recent years, with the emergence of alternative methods to create films, according to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), "the list of censored or repressed works increased rapidly".
