The Hotel Nacional de Cuba, currently hosting the 44th International Festival of New Latin American Cinema, hosted the dialogue between the participants – many of them graduates of that institution – and a group chaired by its general director, Susana Molina, and several of its members. teachers.
It was a space to remember, in the words of the writer Francisco López Sacha, the award given to Eictv during the Lanzarote Film Festival, a bottle of wine tasted with those present.
For me it was very stimulating to participate in the Exhibition and to have the work of the school taken into account, said the Cuban intellectual.
Meanwhile, Jerónimo Labrada, academic director of the entity, offered details of the call that will form the 31st generation of students, and recalled the school’s philosophy on teaching audiovisuals: Long live the utopia of the eye and the ear! , as expressed by the Argentine filmmaker Fernando Birri, first director of Eictv.
The institution will soon turn 37 years old, and those of us who have accompanied this process are sure that this, like a huge ocean liner advancing across the ocean, there is no one to stop it, Labrada highlighted.
Parallel to the regular course, which will begin next September, the call for four master’s degrees stands out, available to the public on the entity’s website, according to the academic.
For her part, Susana Molina expressed: the image of the school is an image of a community, and that community functions like a family, in which there is a lot of unity, brotherhood and diversity, I think that is the most beautiful thing that Eictv has.
Since 1987, the film school has dedicated special interest to promoting and developing a line of publications that expands the artistic and cultural knowledge of students.
In this sense, the Film Production volume of the International School of Cinema and Television was presented, which contains all the teaching exercises grouped by categories, and the Eictv Editions Catalog, with more than 20 titles.
Together with these presentations, the filmography of the entity was detailed, exhibited in the largest meeting with the seventh art in the country: The oceans are the true continents, The wild woman, A night with the Rolling Stone, are among them.
