SCHOLARSHIPS EICTV

In 2016 a partnership was formed with the Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV) to establish scholarships for students in need of funding. This special collaboration heralds a new chapter for this Cuban educational institution and reflects a real commitment to the future of its Arts and youth.

Founded in 1986, the EICTV is a project of the Foundation of New Latin American Cinema, which has its headquarters in Cuba.

Its initial aim was to support the development of national audio-visual industries in countries that lacked the infrastructure or resources to train their own professionals.

It began by providing free courses to students from Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia. In 2006, economic hardships imposed a fee- paying structure for all international students except Cuban attendees who remain exempt from any charges.

Currently there are 120 students from over 50 countries attending the internationally recognised 3-year degree courses. 40 students are selected annually.

EICTV attracts renowned international filmmakers as visiting teachers for master classes and workshops.

The 2017-2020 scholarships were awarded to 8 film students from the nations of Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad & Tobago.

GRACIAS INFINITAS

CUOMO

Por su labor de mejorar vidas y de romper las cadenas del Subdesarrollo; Fomentando la formación cultural y artística.

José Homer Mora SONIDISTA

HONDURAS es un país en estado de emergencia, con necesidad urgente de apoyo internacional. L a educación y la Salud Pública son inexistentes, la corrupción nos ha robado hasta el aire puro; Entonces el deseo de salir adelante se convierte en nuestro oxígeno que nos ayuda a cumplir con dignidad y con valor esa dura tarea que es vivir, en la Honduras de Hoy.

SE PUEDE SALIR ADELANTE, NO ESTAMOS SOLOS. Es fácil decirlo y escribirlo, pero se que no es fácil hacerlo, peor cuando la realidad nos ciega y ensordece hasta el punto que nos cuesta creer que las cosas son posibles. Podemos cambiar el sentido de emergencia, por EMERGENCIA “de estar emergiéndose” de ese modo con trabajo y dedicación podemos ir cambiando poco a poco nuestra realidad.
