It is the meeting of developing film projects devoted to students and graduates of the International Film and Television School (EICTV) as well as young independent filmmakers that work in their first projects. Candidates can submit fiction, documentary and animation film projects. Feature films, 55-minute TV shorts or series may be submitted.

With the aim to contribute to the development and the improvement of narrative and dramatic fundamentals of Latin American cinema, the Inernational Film and Television School of San Antonio de los Baños through its Department of Screenwriting, is offering services of consultancy and advisory of screenplays for Hispanic language authors and also from Brazil.

Six Film Schools from the six continents joined to make a collective portrait of our human species in this precarious opening decade of the twenty first century. Humanity in all its variety and despite great inequality of opportunity, is striving with common purpose to deal with realities that were unimaginable even a generation ago. Through the eyes of young filmmakers we will register what it means today to be human in an effort to look through the eyes of others and there to see ourselves.

Throughout every year course there are many exercises carried out by our students. The way to in which they achieve their goals is really varied. Hidden on the other side of the camera and the microphones there is a diversity of universes that are as interesting and fundamental as the product itself. One of our biggest educational bets is closely linked to the processes and stages of film and television creation.

In 2008, through a formally request to Cámara Cubana del Libro and Cuban Ministry of Culture, it was registered the ISBN for Ediciones EICTV (EICTV Publications). Up to this moment this section of our School had been operating as Publicaciones that is the office in charge of collecting the history of the institution and the people who had passed through it. Ediciones EICTV emerge from the need to transform this School subdivision into a publishing department to edit textbooks or educational materials and other works that support the teaching of cinema from different scopes.
