Firesoul Media, in association with the Escuela International de Cine y Television (EICTV) in Cuba, offer a month long, hands-on Documentary Summer School and an Intensive New Year version of the same every year. With a vision to offer a cross-cultural experience and a unique insight into Cuba and Latin America’s “new ways of seeing” to documentary students around the world, Stephen Hart, Professo
r of Latin American Film, Literature & Culture at University College London set up the project in 2006. Now in its eleventh year, the course is co-ordinated by previous student of UCL and the EICTV, Rebecca Radmore of Firesoul Media. The workshop will be held at the world-famous Escuela Internacional de Cine y Television (EICTV) which is situated just 30 miles outside Havana in San Antonio de los Baños. Founded in 1986 by Gabriel García Marquez, the International Film and Television School – cited in The Guardian as a ‘Vatican for Film-Makers’ – is a world leader in the field of documentary film-making.
